...their strength-and '-' modern medicine-more and more Americans are living beyond the Biblical threescore years and ten, and beyond fourscore. What makes for a long life? What makes a 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...
With a front-lawn place kick, Amos Alonzo Stagg warmed up to watch a football game between two teams of Sacramento Valley high school allstars, who dedicated their contest to the grand old man of football on his 96th birthday. All set for his 68th coaching season (as advisory punting coach at California's Stockton College), the Yale '88 All-American and onetime coach of the University of Chicago, the College of the Pacific, and Susquehanna University found paydirt in the congratulatory mail.

When an international architectural competition was launched, 355 entrants from 25 countries submitted their designs. Last week the jury awarded first prize and $5,000 to Architect Reginald Caywood Knight, 35, of M.I.T.'s department of architecture...

Harvard, in fact, helped administer the coup de grace in Chicago's final season with a 61-0 affair at Stagg Field--one year after a 47-12 rite in Cambridge.
