readable & interesting mag!

The Face of Ford
Kudos for the superb photographs of
Harrison Ford. Another publication I
know airbrushed his photo so much,
he sported nary a wrinkle or character
line. I appreciate your magazine for not
giving me overly doctored images of what society
says my generation should look like.

Cut Costs by Clipping
Rather than shop at warehouse clubs
[“Big Deal”], I think I have a better
savings solution for retirees or people
who live in small households: cou-
poning! The key is to buy when the
item is on sale, with both a store and
manufacturer’s coupon. I have stock-
piled so many free and inexpensive
brand-name items that when I shop, I
need to buy only produce and milk.
Too Much Health Care
I read the Health Report “Four Sur-geries to Avoid” with great interest.
