A promising alternative "chronometer" of stellar ages is suggested, based on the expectation that the light elements Be and B are formed primarily as spallation products of Galactic Cosmic Rays.7 pages, 2 figures, To appear in "The Light Elements and Their Evolution," IAU Symposium 198, ASP Conference Series, eds.
