Why has no one thought of this before?

Shouldn't smoking cigarettes be mandatory for everyone over 50 or 55? That is one fairly effective way to decrease the number of oldsters with strong hearts but withered minds.

Another thing. Shouldn't Pete Townsend be worried about going to a hospital? I mean we all know what his wishes are.

Last thing. Woody Hayes had a ready answer for teen-agers who demanded to know why they should listen to an old codger like him. Simple, he'd say. They had never been 60 years old, but he had been 17. Something to remember for the 'i wouldn't want to live like that crowd.' (And isn't she taking a long time to die for someone with no will to live?)
