IN my job as this newspaper’s resident beauty skeptic, I receive a lot of books about longevity with preposterous titles like “Stop Aging, Start Living,” “The New Anti-Aging Revolution: Stopping the Clock” and “The Science of Staying Young.”
These books contain some practical advice. But at this stage of medical knowledge, you have about as much chance of thwarting time as you do in personally preventing an ice storm, so you can start your resolutions for the New Year right now by forgoing such books and saving about $24.95 (for a hardcover) apiece.
