NEW YORK (AP) ? An emotional Michael Douglas said Thursday that surviving his cancer scare several years ago gave him new vitality as he settles into his senior years. Douglas, 71, spoke about his health at an AARP luncheon celebrating the Academy Award-winner's storied career and said: "It's good to be alive." He also attributed his longevity to picking the best film to work on instead of the best role. He also got political, railing against super PACs that give large contributions to political candidate, blaming them for viciousness in the presidential campaign climate.
