Ten years ago, Survivor - now in its 20th season - mainstreamed the idea for older viewers. The Jersey Shore-ites have never known a world in which hooking up drunk in a house paid for by a Viacom network was not an option.

Just 5 ft. 8 in., with small hands and feet, the demure 66-year-old Kansan has outlasted seven Presidents as well as most of his fellow bureaucrats and policymakers. He's the only entry-level CIA analyst to rise to the top job, director of central intelligence. And he's the only Secretary of Defense ever to be asked to stay on in a rival party's Administration. He has thrived through a combination of endurance, pragmatism and bureaucratic...
