Being old is an individual matter. Artist Georgia O'Keeffe and poet Marianne Moore continued to be productive in their eighties. Cellist Pablo Casals gave his last concert at the age of ninety-six. Anthropologist Margaret Mead, philosophers John Dewey and Ber-trand Russell, and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall all were making significant contributions to American life and letters in their seventies.

What people make of old age is influenced by the health and the viewpoint they bring to it. Cultural attitudes are important, also. Most cultures respect the aged. Every four years newspapers in the United States, however, discuss whether or not a presidential candidate over sixty-five is too old. Most Asians would find this discussion hard to understand.
