That's a worry many boomers bear for themselves and their parents. And they worry about a range of mental incapacity that can begin far short of full-blown dementia. Your infirm father may no longer be capable of managing investments, but he may do fine balancing his checkbook. How will it be decided whether folks like him--and sooner or later, folks like us--have lost the capacity to drive a car or consent to surgery...

And, of course, no Israeli leader could afford to withdraw from the occupied territories without cast-iron guarantees of Israeli security. Those two premises formed the very foundation of the Oslo peace process, and Oslo's collapse does nothing to change...
