"A sensitive portrait by Cathy Vogan of the dancer
Ernest Berk at over eighty years of age. His body,
his wrinkles, his views on old-age and sexuality,
his zest for life link up with a reflection on
time from both a biographical and a scientific
viewpoint. Experience and wisdom has gathered in
the wrinkles of the skin just as in the warped
bark of ancient trees. The recent death of Ernest
Berk makes this approach to him as "Methuselah,"
the magician of life, a final poetic document of
the times."

In a 2007 interview, University of Southern
California professor Richard Roberts talks about
his discovery of a protein that inhibits aging in
fruit flies. The finding opens the possibility of
developing new therapeutics and also may hold
implications for human longevity. Tags :USCResearch
Climbing to the top of "Methuselah", the
well-known coast redwood tree in San Mateo County,
CA. They say the top broke off in 1954 and reduced
the height f/225' to 137'. Methuselah forks into 2
trunks halfway up and when the older, taller trunk
broke in half, the younger trunk was ready to take
over. Methuselah is now back up to 200'+ in
height. Brought to you by Chris Buck & Jose Perez,
old climbing buddies. Also view: Climbing
