You know you've arrived at a real inflection point when fashion, politics, and the urban intelligentsia collide. In New York, Carmen Dell'Orefice (81) adorns promotional banners and blogs during the
run-up to the Fall Fashion shows. At the 92nd Street Y on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Mayor Koch (87) and former Fed Chairman Paul Volker (84) lead a talk to "share relevant information and wisdom" for
NYC's unofficial intelligentsia. And in The Villages, Florida - the self-proclaimed "friendliest retirement hometown" -- a newly-minted Paul Ryan enters stage right with his vibrant mother (78) to declare how he and Governor Romney
plan to "save Medicare." This unlikely collision of Fashion Week, the fashionable Manhattan Y, and the impossibly unfashionable "retirement communities" of the Sunshine State speak of a larger cultural shift that is upon us. In this young century, we are witnessing a new old. We are witnessing the emergence of a new aging process where people remain healthy, active, and productive -- not to mention beautiful, smart, and politically savvy -- into their 60s, 70s, and 80s.
