Freshley, who lives in La Jolla, Calif., is an apostle of swimming. "Before 50, swimming is optional," he says. "After 50, it's mandatory. Guys' egos force them to play basketball at 55 as they did at 20, and they damage their knees." A 70-year-old swimmer looks 50, he maintains, but a 70-year-old runner looks 90. Swimming lowers cholesterol and reduces arthritis pain, he says, and it has strengthened his immune system to the point that he gets barely one cold a year.

They like his house. They like his girlfriends. They all love Trump." The source added, "The Reform Party becomes Gore's worst nightmare, instead of Bush...
...Schaefer, 32, multimillionaires. But what is striking about walking into the Blizzard North building in Menlo Park, Calif., is not the casualness of the offices, the cubicles strewn with toys or the 8-ft. red-and-black Diablo mannequin next to the receptionist--that's standard work-is-play, tech-firm vibe. Instead, what makes me stop and wonder is the feeling that I am revisiting my childhood...
