...have a strategy for getting more mature roles? -Claire Young, Niskayuna, N.Y. To be honest, I've never really had any strategy at all. I don't really work that way. I know that when I see a role and it speaks to me, I'm drawn to it and I have to go that direction. But there's no master game plan...

...many, America now faces a brutal trade-off. We can favor the unregulated market, which “directs capital to the productive and the young,” or we can fancy welfare policies, which “direct resources to the vulnerable and the elderly.” We must choose whether to “siphon” resources from the vigorous, youthful, and innovative to the weak, aging, and ordinary...

Those who are un-wealthy are at high risk to be unhealthy, but those who merely work hard outside government and corporate safety nets also need a powerful dose of reform. It’s difficult to say we’re doing well by pioneers when...

Perhaps worst of all, the “vitality vs. security” argument masks a certain, purposeful interdependence in America, especially between generations. Democracy works on the premise that the social contract spans eras. Today’s young provide some protection for those who sacrificed in the past, and today’s elderly maintain a duty of active stewardship for those who will come in the future.
