THE COST OF PASSION, pg. 78

Why stop at daydreaming, though? Pursuing your passions doesn’t have to be a fanciful, fleeting fantasy: MORE offers advice on how to prepare yourself, your family and your lifestyle as you embark on your new endeavor.
BEST OF BEAUTY: WHAT REALLY WORKS?, pg. 103
Browsing through the beauty department at most stores causes undue stress on most women: Is this shampoo right for my curly hair? Will this cream really lift and firm? And just what is foundation primer, anyway? To save you time, stress and money, MORE compiled a team of top beauty pros and readers to test the countless products on the market, sifting through the lot to find the 50 best that cater to women over forty.
SIGOURNEY WEAVER TAKES THE LONG VIEW, pg. 127
With three movies coming out this fall, Sigourney Weaver, 57, is still at the top of her game even after 30 years in Hollywood. Sigourney talks about the fight for compelling roles, noting that as an older woman, sometimes landing the greatest roles requires an active – and persuasive – approach. A maverick in all she does, Sigourney discusses her hand in off-Broadway theater, her life as an unconventional movie star and her love for aging. “I think people look blanker when they’re younger. They’re more interesting when they’re older. Look at Keith Richards – he’s gorgeous because he is what he is.”
THE ABORTION DEBATE: IN SEARCH OF NEW WORDS, pg. 132
Are you pro-life or pro-choice? In an age where pro-lifers have abortions and pro-choicers post ultrasounds of their unborn babies on refrigerator doors, that question has become too simplistic. Some midlife women – speaking from experience with life, death, birth and choices – are pushing for a more nuanced debate. MORE discusses the unsettled emotions and unresolved feelings surrounding one of the nation’s most controversial topics, speaking with men and women on all sides.
SPECIAL REPORT: BREAST CANCER, pg. 163
When it comes to this disease, the landscape seems to change at every turn. Where to start? Whom to trust? Our guide gives you the news, the help and the hope you need. This special report includes: therapies that target the cancer without torturing you, hormone therapy, alternative therapies that can help you through cancer treatment and maybe even speed your recovery, breast cancer reoccurrences, a patient's guide to navigating the health care system and an analysis of where breast cancer bucks go.
