 Living Longer, Walking Stronger: The Design Needs of Senior Pedestrians
 
 Ina 
              Evans demurs when asked to reveal her age, saying vaguely that it's 
              "over 70." She has lived long enough to have had a successful magazine 
              career in New York and to be the grandmother of two teenagers in 
              Chapel Hill, N.C. where she now makes her home. Mrs. Evans remembers 
              a time when Seventeen magazine wouldn't utter the word "s-e-x" in 
              its pages- during the 1940s and 50s when she was a staffer there. 
              She also remembers a time when walking across the street to the 
              grocery store didn't entail risking her life.
