...once viewed as an enemy of print journalism, is fast becoming Time's ally. In conjunction with this issue, we are co-producing a one-hour program that will air April 5 on the Discovery Channel, covering much of the same material you see in these pages but presented in quite a different manner. The TV documentary, like Time Daily and Pathfinder, is yet another way for us to bring first-rate journalism to as many people as possible -- something we've been up to for more than 70 years...
...more fans than redneck detractors. The quartet's absorbing debut album, Cracked Rear View, has become an unexpected commercial smash, selling more than a million copies.

There are viewers watching these shows who feel if it's on TV, this must be the way everyone lives. Susceptible people will think this behavior is normal and acceptable...
...memories of the worst of the bad old days are fading. With campuses and workplaces more integrated, it becomes harder to justify a continuing use of racial preferences as a clear remedy for current discrimination--especially when they channel benefits to blacks already in the middle class, sometimes at the expense of less affluent whites. And even among African Americans, who still support affirmative action by wide margins, there is resentment about the way it can cast doubt on the genuine abilities of anyone who benefits...
