Laboratory experiments have shown that over the course of a human lifetime, healthy cells complete a specific number of divisions. When that process is disrupted, as commonly happens in old cells, problems like osteoporosis and immunological failure set in. Conversely, so-called immortal cells that continue to divide past their allotted count turn cancerous and can proliferate indefinitely. "We'd be in worse shape if cells didn't undergo senescence," says Smith, who studies the aging of cells...

Currently, Harvard graduates are extremely well-represented among the nation's elite in government, business and education, and there is little reason to assume that this trend will not continue. Ostensibly, Harvard pushes its undergraduates to embark on a rigorous search for veritas, thus molding a new generation of men and women fit to run the country. This conception of the Harvard education is not only accepted within this ivory tower; most of America also seems to believe in the Harvard mystique...
