People, let's give it up for Mildred Heath, 100, of Overton, Nebraska, the nation's active oldest worker. She's a reporter at the Nebraska Beacon Observer, and has been a journalist since 1929. She has no plans for retirement, the New York Observer reports, because she says, "I enjoy the work. And I'm needed." [PR Web via Observer]
