Freshley, who lives in La Jolla, Calif., is an apostle of swimming. "Before 50, swimming is optional," he says. "After 50, it's mandatory. Guys' egos force them to play basketball at 55 as they did at 20, and they damage their knees." A 70-year-old swimmer looks 50, he maintains, but a 70-year-old runner looks 90. Swimming lowers cholesterol and reduces arthritis pain, he says, and it has strengthened his immune system to the point that he gets barely one cold a year. He recognizes, however, that not everyone will share his devotion. "Nobody...
...time this seems like a technicality. It's not just the obvious differences--language, civilization, technology--that set us apart. Even basic biology suggests that humanity has special status. Virtually every other type of animal comes in multiple varieties: dozens of species of monkeys, antelopes, whales and hawks walk, swim or fly the earth, to say nothing of beetles, whose hundreds of thousands of species inspired biologist J.B.S.

Accordingly, their vision of nature is as realistic as it is romantic. Kennedy says he has seen an adorable-looking otter torture a catfish by biting off its scales on one side, making it swim in circles...
...STEVE JOBS, CEO of Pixar Animation, didn't want that to happen to his babies. "When we decided to do Toy Story 2, we wanted it to be as good as the best live-action sequels, as good as The Godfather II." This doesn't mean BUZZ LIGHTYEAR will swim with the rubber duckies, but WOODY does get abducted by an unsavory toy collector. When the movie hits theaters in November, new cast members JESSE THE COWGIRL, the PROSPECTOR and the evil ZURG will join the originals, who despite advances in technology, look much the same. "We stayed true...
