Joe Paterno is ranked 25th in America, at least when the talk is about 80-year-olds.
Slate Magazine annually ranks the most powerful octogenarians, and this year Penn State's Paterno comes in at No. 25, down eight spots from last year.
Tops on the list? That would be Thomas Monson, also 82. He's the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints.
Other notables include Barbara Walters (No. 4), Henry Kissinger (11), Hugh Hefner (19) and Jimmy Carter (20).
