KANSAS CITY, Mo. - When Roberta Green applied for Social Security, she was carded.
That was 40 years ago. Today, with her porcelain skin and a crown of white, curly hair, Green, 101, looks younger than 70. She's also a member of one of the fastest-growing age groups in the United States - people who live a century or more.
Surviving 100 years was easy, Green said, padding around her apartment at the Overland Park Place Retirement Home in Kansas, laughing about her younger days - when she was only 70-something.
