37、entenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. Those who stand still, die, is one of Oliveiras favorite phrases.

43、till works. Recently Heesters said: I want to be at least 108-years-old. He also plans to keep performing. Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up? Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a good stage role. Italian scientist Rita Le

44、vi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: Progress is created through imperfection.
