Baby boomer Margaret Hopkins offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the swimsuit-clad Martha Stewart and how her generation views aging and body image. I want to congratulate Martha Stewart on her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover. After months of working out and dietary considerations, she looks great.
