"Could it be suddenly chic to blow out a half-century's worth of candles? Is the ever-dreaded 50 cool? Just look at the numbers--or better yet, the faces. Celebrities such as Athens [Georgia] native Kim Basinger, John Travolta and Denzel Washington have passed the half-century mark. Even pushing looks and fame aside, the boomers are cool for the most basic of reasons: power, money and a penchant for using both for fun." (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION) The author considers how the baby boomers are defying the stereotypes about aging and are facing old age on their own terms and in their own way.
