...long life livable? And useful? In this week's cover story on Nonagenarian Amos Alonzo Stagg, Medicine Editor Gilbert Cant reports on the medical progress that has prolonged human life. To supplement the story, TIME presents a gallery of U.S. elders, photographed by LIFE'S Alfred Eisenstaedt (who is only 59). "Eisie," who has probably photographed more famous people than any other photographer, carried his autograph book as usual, got a full-page poem from Robert Frost and a fine line from Bernard Baruch: "Oh, to be 80 again."

...small balding man, quiet and sharp-eyed as a young deer, moved among the trees, observing and pausing to focus his Leica. The click of the shutter among the bird sounds and leaf rustles was inaudible.

Alfred Eisenstaedt-the master of the sharp, meaningful portrait and the photographer who stirred U.S. enthusiasm for the Leica and other 35-mm. cameras-contributed an early picture of a ballet rehearsal that owes its mothlike softness and radiance to Degas' influence. Irving Penn's evocation of a midsummer nap harks back to a 15th century Venetian, Carlo Crivelli, who also used sharply focused flies to achieve a greater illusion of depth...
