About the Author
"I got interested in aging as aging got interested in me." These words are by Terry Sanford, former senator and governor of North Carolina, and long-time president of Duke University. Mr. Sanford was a member of the US Senate Committee on Aging and has lent his support to aging research at Duke University. In Outlive Your Enemies, Mr. Sanford presents a tour de force on how to beat back the clock on aging. His vehicle is six old cronies musing about aging and their lives. The book tackles head-on one of today's most vexing and timely issues in a homespun, real-life, and extremely informative style. A zest for life pulsates throughout the pages of this book.
