...days?35 years and counting?to helping elderly Japanese learn to make the most of their sunset years. He formed the New Elder Citizens Group to inspire seniors, and in 2001 published an advice book, How to Live Well. (His publishers convinced him to change the title from the somewhat less commercially appealing How to Die Well.) The book became a surprise hit, selling more than 1.2 million copies and solidifying Hinohara's status as Japan's guru of healthy aging. His seductively simple message: "If you keep working, if you keep learning something new, you'll never...
...least, that's what Alyaksandr Milinkevich predicts - and he plans to lead the demonstrations against Lukashenka, who presides over what U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice calls Europe's "last true dictatorship." But first, Milinkevich will challenge Lukashenka in the presidential elections next July. "The situation here is somewhat different [from Ukraine], but the scenarios are similar everywhere when it comes to dictatorships," he told Time. "Dictatorial regimes never admit defeat."

Other staff members were alienated when he hired as his chief of staff Jill Murphy--a 33-year-old with little art experience...

Italian newspapers, however, are now reporting that Pope Benedict XVI had signed a somewhat less extreme "instruction." (See accompanying story.) But while awaiting that edict, the psychologists like Plante, who (among other things) help determine whether prospective seminarians are gay, have been drawn into a debate about that particular aspect of their job. Predominantly Catholic but not necessarily ordained, most of these psychologists are quite comfortable...
...about its medical implications have been warped by fashion. We all know morbid obesity when we see it; clearly, it interferes with activities of daily living and makes people unhappy and unhealthy. But being too lean may also compromise health and successful aging. I believe that those who are somewhat overweight but fit in middle age may enjoy a healthier and longer old age than those who are lean...
