...Harvard men's basketball loss these days has about as much grace and subtlety as the death of a great bull moose by heart attack. After trudging along with its opponent for three-fourths of a game on the strength of a pesky defense and decent transition game, the team will suddenly come to an abrupt stop. Its eyes will get big.

I hope that we begin to accept and cope with the realities of our aged with the grace and candor of our former President. Children may be the future of our country, but old age is our future...
