  Scotland on Sunday - International - World's oldest man dies after 'life of moderation'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Spaniard Joan Riudavets Moll, who retired from his job as a shoemaker half a century ago, was recognised as the world’s oldest man since the death of Japan’s Yukichi Chuganji, also 114, in September.
Riudavets, who attributed his longevity to a life of moderation, was born on December 15, 1889, the same year as Chaplin and Adolf Hitler, and the year the Eiffel Tower was completed.
Riudavets, who joined the family shoemaking business and retired in 1954, lived to see huge advances in medicine and science, but he never stopped marvelling at inventions like the aeroplane - first flown when he was a teenager - and electricity.
