Re: McCain's Speech Tonight!
Excellent article!

The Importance Of Age And Experience
America's 100 largest companies realize that age, experience and seasoned judgment are necessary to successfully manage big enterprises. They rarely entrust those responsibilities to untested, unproven management candidates. The average age of their chief executives is 57; for their chairmen, it's 59.
In the international arena, Winston Churchill, one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century and considered a maverick in his day, became England's prime minister in its time of great need in 1940, when he was 66, and served until age 71. He was elected PM again in 1951, when he was 77, and served until 1955, when he was 81.
Golda Meir, another outstanding world leader, became the fourth prime minister of the state of Israel in 1969, only a few weeks from her 71st birthday.
This is the first part of a series that will run throughout this week.
