      Seems to me that it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to require that people in executive positions retire no later than maybe 75, or even 70.

      I think the company I work for has a limit of maybe 65 or 67 for the CEO.

      I was only joking

        The university had a policy that you couldn't be department chair after age 65. You could work, but not be chair.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            I don't think it's good for anybody having executives working until they're ready for the grave. You have to question why somebody would want to do it.

              I'd rather see some criterion other than arbitrary age -- some benchmark having to do with competence or smarts or energy level (doesn't fall asleep in the portrait like Justice Ginsberg did).

              The trick would be how to compel them to take the test, but a smart, sharp, competent and lively 75-year-old or even older doesn't deserve to be driven out to pasture because of a birthday.

                  You can't rely on subjective criteria. These guys are masters at gaming the system.

                        i agree. Have it also apply to judges, etc.

                          They're not that good. If you can't fix the country by the time you're 75 then you need to let have somebody else have a go, because it doesn't get any better at that point.
