In Rules for Aging: Resist Normal Impulses, Live Longer, Attain Perfection, Rosenblatt boils down the aging process to simple rules. Some in this list of 58 rules to live by are no more than a sentence or two, such as Rule 2: "Nobody is thinking about you. They are thinking about themselves, just like you." Or Rule 53: "Never do it for the money. I mean it." * * * EVELYN M.
