| Linda Najeeb HalabyAugust 23, 195158 | “The sheer folly of trying to defend a nation by destroying all life on the planet must be apparent to anyone capable of rational thought. Nuclear capability must be reduced to zero, globally, permanently. There is no other option.” |

And me too.”
|

| Liza DonnellyMay 12, 195554 | “As E.B. White wrote, “The world decorates its poets with laurels and its wags with Brussel sprouts….” (I am paraphrasing because I am too lazy to go look it up for the exact quote). Humorists get no respect.” |

| Mikhail BaryshinkovJanuary 27, 194861 | “Dancing is my obsession. My life.””I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.” |
| Our Why: | With moves like his, we would be remiss if he wasn’t on the Boomer Hot list. |
