How do you select only rows with max value?

[Max Loeb]

Given a table like this:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `people` (
`name` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
`age` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

--
-- Dumping data for table `people`
--

INSERT INTO `people` (`name`, `age`) VALUES
('bob', 13),
('john', 25),
('mike', 25),
('steve', 8),
('sue', 13);


How would I select only the rows with the highest 'age' value?
In other words, because "john" and "mike" are the oldest, I want only their rows.

Thanks much!
