Eat Less,Enjoy It More
By DAVID GIBBONS
Even if you’re a hyper-conscientious dieter who tends to avoid fat like the plague, it’s still possible to enjoy the ancient miracle of curdled, cured milk and stay within healthy parameters. As in the case of any rich food, the key to enjoying cheese is moderation.

By Edwin Méndez-Santiago, LCSW

Eye on Art: Hard Reality in 1920s Germany
By Jerry Tallmer
So sings Sally Bowles in her pair of lacy pants in the Kit Kat Club in late-1920s Berlin, just as the Brownshirts are smashing faces in the streets, but the real nightclub where a Sally Bowles might be cozying up of an evening to a whole spectrum of bankers, lawyers, bureaucrats, artists, writers, poets, aristos, war profiteers, hangers-on, and sexual mix-and-matches of every stripe was Berlin’s Romanisches Café, a successor to the same city’s pre-1915 Café des Westens, better known as Café Megalomania.

Old...Old...and Beautiful
By Jerry Tallmer
Her name was Ann Smith, she was 111 years old, and she told Jerry Friedman, who’d gone up to Massachusetts to photograph her in early 2002, that she could remember standing as a child by a train trestle, staring up at Theodore Roosevelt.

By S.W. Sherwin
with Lisa Brandes
This is the season in which many of us are looking for ways to support our favorite charities. While the spirit may move us to make year-end gifts, many of us would also like to be able to maximize the amount of money we retain while still being generous.

VisionWhat I Did for Love
By Wickham Boyle
Chorus Line is back. And so am I. I saw the original in 1975 as a 25-year-old starry eyed stage manager who believed that my work in the wacky, burgeoning field of experimental theater would feed me body and soul.

Finding Magic in the Sunshine State
By Linda Oatman High
Land of California Crazy Architecture, strip malls, and kitschy tourist attractions, The Sunshine State’s Orlando is no longer a vacation destination to whisper only to your AARP group.

This is the Month for Gratitude
By Wickham Boyle
Well, every month should be, but this month actually ends with a holiday whose very root is pure thanks. It is a holiday that can be celebrated by every religion, race, and creed with the very simple premise of gathering for a meal and expressing thanks.

Brainercise Feed Your Head
By Sophia Dembling
I work out regularly – power walking, aerobics, weight lifting, yoga. But none of these have exhausted me as thoroughly as my first year sitting in a college classroom as a “nontraditional” (a.k.a. old) student.
