...both. Rothman, a TV comedy writer, moved to a retirement community in Florida to see what his life would look like in 40 years. His conclusion: "chaise lounges, thunderclouds, midsized sedans, tile floors and ear hair." While among twilight's own, he tries to save shuffleboard (even old people prefer tennis) and gets out-foulmouthed by seventy-somethings. But Rothman's only as funny as he is sad. The problem with lifetime friendships with old folks, he realizes, is that one of you has a lot more lifetime left...
...prefer hunting down cultural treasures, then call at one of the many historic towns and cities built on the Danube's banks. Budapest, Hungary's capital, is one of the most graceful. The Danube (or Duna in Hungarian) divides the city into the hilly side (Buda) and the flat side (Pest), from which it gets its name.

In an 87-page document drawn up by the Special Ministry for Human Rights and distributed to members of Congress, police chiefs, newspaper editors and other opinion leaders, the Lula administration lists 96 terms it wants to hear less of. Many are obvious: Don't call the physically handicapped cripples or the mentally handicapped mongoloids, and when describing Afro-Brazilians, steer clear of the Portuguese...
...lesson for me as an expectant father (my first child is due in June) is that couples should talk to their doctor about episiotomy long before they get into a delivery room. If you would prefer not to have one, say so. My wife's obstetrician, I was pleased to hear, rarely, if ever, performs one, and most of his colleagues don't either...
