Aging Educators: Still Valuable?

I just read a column by David Leonhardt in which he cited Frank Bruni about the complexities of aging. It is a column (with Bruni's piece quoted at length within) well worth reading whether you are 25 or 55 or 75. Leonhardt is on vacation from writing his "opinions" so I quote from his email below to orient readers.

A Riveting Excerpt from Upcoming Memoir: Harlem to Hollywood My Real-to-Reel Life by Det. Sonny Grosso

Making a living as a writer or any other creative in Hollywood is all about having a really good story, and finding the right people to listen to it.
