   Is Jacobs accelerating with age?

   • Jacobs will turn 60 in September, but he seems to be the rare person who is accelerating with age. Several times he mentioned his desire to be more ambitious and cut new paths, and he tinkers with his writing and reading habits the way other people his age tinker with vitamin supplements and low-cholesterol diets.
