I don't play polo anymore because I am too old. But we still have a half a dozen horses - a couple of young horses we are teaching how to play polo and older horses that are real trustworthy when you get them up in the mountains.

The West Wing seems to be feeding the myth about how presidential politics are.

The business is built on slowing or even stopping the aging process.
