    Notes: Human life expectancy has increased dramatically through improvements in public health, housing, nutrition and general living standards. Lifespan is now limited chiefly by intrinsic senescence and its associated frailty and diseases. Understanding the biological basis of the ageing process is a major scientific challenge that will require integration of molecular, cellular, genetic and physiological approaches. This article reviews progress that has been made to date, particularly with regard to the genetic contribution to senescence and longevity, and assesses the scale of the task that remains.

    Description: Recently, we discovered with International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) an F0-F2 IV-V companion to the T(sub c)-deficient S star HD 191589. If the magnitude difference is (delta)V=3.7, as indicated by several arguments, and E(B-V) = 0.0, we obtain a value of M(sub v)= - 1.5 +/- 0.4 for the Peculiar Red Giant (PRG), too faint for it to be a thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch star. According to the binary mass-transfer hypothesis for T(sub c)-deficient PRG's, a white dwarf must be the source of the s-process enhancement of the current primary star, but it cannot be seen because of the presence of the secondary. If such is the case, the F-star companion may also have been contaminated by s-process material. High-dispersion IUE observations indicate an enhancement of Zr II in the photosphere of the F-star as well. Thus, HD 191589 is likely a triple system, where what was once the most massive component of the system has polluted both of its companions with s-process material. One of these is the current S star, while the other is the companion still near the main sequence.
