We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

 Step one to having a happy life: Be born looking like Ingrid Bergman.

But yes, I agree with her about the short memory. So much of our internal stress comes from things that happened long ago. As my friends and I drift along in age, I see how hard it is to outrun the person you were and the life you had as a teenager and in your very early twenties. That stuff stays with you.

I think that's one of the real, less discussed, benefits of being an Ivy League athlete. At one point in your life, arguably the most important time of your life, you were the best of the best. That confidence, that experience -- is invaluable.

Add in the network and the friends. The Forty-Year Benefit is very real. These kids have the opportunity of, well, a lifetime.
