A longer life span is not a fountain of youth. As future generations routinely join the ranks of the centenarians, America must retool its youth-oriented culture into something more elder-friendly than it is now. This timely two-part series addresses the multifaceted issue of maintaining a good quality of life over the long haul, as the senior-set becomes the dominant demographic segment in a nation where a premium is still placed on being young. 2-part series, 29 minutes each.
