Excerpt:
Old, dense and isolated clusters of stars might be the perfect place to
find intelligent life beyond Earth, say scientists who presented a study
about how so-called "globular clusters" may be a cradle of life for
advanced civilizations.

"If they house planets, globular clusters provide ideal environments for
advanced civilizations that can survive over long times," astronomer
Rosanne Di Stefano, with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,
said in a summary of a paper to be presented at the American Astronomical
Society meeting in Kissimmee, Florida, this week.

"If planets are found and if our arguments are correct, searches for
intelligent life are most likely to succeed when directed toward globular
clusters," Di Stefano wrote.

ROTFLMAO! A suggestion first thought of, and written about... by Doc
Smith, in Skylark Three, in 1930....
