Nobody says it's easy at this time of life. But I wonder if it isn't easier than living in the kind of tomb that too many lives are. Nobody ever reached a difficult goal by saying, "But what if . . ." Take a look at the chronicles of history and see how many "trapped" men emerged as brilliant contributors to their times after 40 years of killing unfulfillment...
...billed as a remedy for everything from arthritis to athlete's foot (TIME, Sept. 17, 1965). It developed that Dr. Kligman and his labs were investigating new drugs for no fewer than 33 manufacturers, and the FDA's Dr. Frances O.

In the summer, more and more of the major U.S. symphony orchestras and dance companies are packing their tubas and tutus, fleeing...
...about the crush of crowds in California's Yosemite Valley. That was in 1870, when Yosemite counted its annual visitors in the thousands. This year 1,700,000 people are expected to come geysering into the national park, and the overcrowding is becoming so severe that many will wonder why they ever left home...
