Does anyone remember an issue of perhaps Scientific American or Time devoted to CR?

This issue  I believe was in the 90's.  I had the issue at one time, but no longer do.  Does anyone remember it or what it was called? I am not sure if it was a total Calorie Restriction issue or an Anti-Aging issue with with Calorie Restriction as the main topic.  I would like to attain this issue, if anyone remembers it or what it was called. 

I went to the Scientific American website and couldn't find anything close.  I am not even sure if they will sell an old individual issue with purchasing a $199 dollar digital subscription

It may have been one of those Time special issues about a topic that they have from time to time.

I can't seem to recall a whole issue on CR.

Might you be thinking of this interview by Alan Alda with Roy Walford for Scientific American Frontiers?

Here is the video from the episode.

There was a very old issue of Scientific American where Walford was interviewed.  --  Saul

Thank you both.  I do remember seeing the Walford interview on PBS, and I think I read the interview in Scientific American with Walford.  At the time I was reading anything that had him in it and his two books.

I am not sure I understand the question but this looks like a formally similar thing

If this is not it - sorry.

Yes!  That is exactly the issue I was talking about.  

Thank you!

That's awesome that you were on the show!!  Veering off topic, but did you see the full self driving superbowl ad?  😉

It was made by billionaire Dan O’Dowd who has his own competing self driving software from what I understand (?)

Yes I saw it. Musk is irresponsible with so-called 'Autopilot' and so-called 'Full Self-driving" so I agree with D'Dowd that more than should be done to regulate Tesla.

As I understand it O'Dowd doesn't sell self-driving software per se, but the company he owns (Green Hill Software) sells embedded, low-level safety and security software (operating systems) to a range of companies deveoping safety critical systems, including Telsa competitors in the areas of self-driving cars.
