Love in Later LifeBy Virginia Prescott on Thursday, July 3, 2008.
Stories, songs and poems of youthful lust have guided us for millenia, but people live to be older now, creating new models for passionate love and desire once we hit our 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond. What happens as boomers age and find themselves single? What happens to the family when a parent marries at 85? Amanda Smith Barusch is a professor of gerontology at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her new book is "Love Stories of Later Life: A Narrative Approach to Understanding Romance." She’s on sabbatical at the University of Utah, and joins Word of Mouth from KUER in Salt Lake City. We also hear from seniors interested in finding love at Chicago's annual "Sweetheart’s Ball." Women usually outnumber men there by a ratio of 8 to 1. Producers Dan Collison and Elizabeth Meister of Long Haul Productions visited the ball to talk to some of the ladies there.

In an attempt to expand your romantic imagination, Word of Mouth takes on a topic neglected by our culture and science alike - love among the senior set.
You may not know it, but some of your most basic household items are infused with tiny particles, invisible to the naked eye. These particles make sunscreen turn clear on the skin, turn fabrics stain-resistant, keep leftovers fresh longer, and the list goes on. Nanotechnologies are being hailed as the next industrial revolution, promising tremendous potential benefits in energy production, medicine, food and clothing. But few studies have been done on the impact these tiny particles have on our bodies or the environment.
