One hundred fifty miles east of Los Angeles and a few hundred yards off Interstate 10 lies a formerly forlorn tract of desert where the Del Webb Corp. can't build homes fast enough. There's one little caveat to living at Del Webb's Sun City Palm Desert: You or your spouse must be at least 55 years "or better" and no other occupant under 19 may live in homes that start at $132,000 and reach $400,000.

A funny thing happened to Connie Goldman on the way to the grave: She discovered that everyone else was headed in that direction too.
