Dr. Bob, 75, Knows Aging’s Toll. He Wonders if Biden and Trump Do. Dr. Bob Ross cares for the aging residents of Ortonville, Minn, even as he wonders whether he, and the presidential candidates, are up to all their tasks......... The conversations at the heart of an election cycle were the same ones unfolding inside Bob’s office: What were the best ways to slow the inevitable decline of the human body? How did aging impact cognition? When was it possible to defy age, and when was it necessary to make accommodations in terms of decision-making or professional routines? These were the questions he asked his patients each day, and also himself....... “If your body’s healthy, that helps keep your mind sharp.” ........ “If you’ve seen one person at 80, you’ve seen one person at 80,” Bob said. “There are a million different versions of growing old.” ....... One of his brothers served 20 years in the Army and then was killed in a motorcycle crash .......... The nephew who once ran a lemonade stand in Bob’s front yard was now a doctor and the hospital’s chief executive; a student he mentored in high school had become his colleague as the first female physician in Big Stone County. He’d delivered more than 1,500 babies over the years, at least 100 of whom had grown up to work alongside him at the hospital. ........... the inevitable reality of what happened to an aging human body. The frontal cortex of the brain started to shrink over time, which led to slower recall, shortened attention spans and difficulty multitasking. Heart valves and arteries stiffened with age, which forced the heart to work harder and increased the likelihood of high blood pressure and heart attacks. Spinal disks flattened and then compressed. The metabolism slowed. Muscles contracted, skin bruised, bones weakened, teeth decayed, gums receded, hearing diminished, eyesight deteriorated — and it was normal. It was entirely and inescapably normal. .......

Jay Sah: Reporters Club Nepal
Why China’s confidence crisis goes unfixed In 2024, to acknowledge public gloom is to doubt Xi Jinping ........ In truth, lots of ordinary Chinese worry that the ship of state is drifting, rudderless. But this cannot be admitted without seeming to doubt Mr Xi, the great helmsman. In the China of 2024, that is simply not allowed.

A Trump Criminal Trial Is Finally Going to Begin. Maybe Two. The former president, who faces 91 felony counts in four trials, is admitting, out loud, that he has one overriding goal: to slow the administration of justice until he can get back to the White House and shut down or evade all criminal charges against him.
