During the first half of his career, Loury was active as a conservative voice in the discussion of race, seemingly indifferent to how he was seen within the black community. Personal troubles, the alienation that his conservative views engendered and a religious reawakening all helped contributed to a profound change of heart. Since the mid-’90s, he has come to criticize many of the conservative views he once espoused. To some extent, he has returned to the ideological fold and been received, with some reservation, by several prominent intellectuals who hold racially liberal positions...
...guide him through the physical, emotional and spiritual training required. "Before that point, I couldn't see how I would become Muhammad Ali," says Smith.

[STAYING HEALTHY, Jan. 21], Jeffrey Kluger wrote, "You're born, you grow up, you produce some young, then you get out of the way and leave room for the generation coming along." Kluger has struck on a profound law of senescence. The awesome force of evolution would long ago have selected for a longer human life-span if this strategy provided a better means to secure the success of our progeny.
