[The NY Times propaganda mill is working overtime getting folks used to the
idea that the postwar "Golden Years" concept of retirement -- which, all of
a sudden, is being described as not just economically unrealistic but also
emotionally stultifying -- is obsolete.  People will now have to work until
they're dead, but as one beaming expert tells the Times, old folks will now
have "the freedom to work in new fields."  Can't wait; I'm practicing
already:  Welcome to Wal-Mart!]
