Complaints about law enforcement aren't confined to sensational police shootings. Day in and day out, minority communities around the country feel unfairly burdened by America's tough new policing strategies. In an illegal tactic called racial profiling, blacks and Latinos charge, New Jersey police pull over a disproportionate number of minority drivers, then look for a crime or violation to charge them with. A study found that the troopers are five times as likely to target blacks as they are whites.

"On a spiritual level," she explains, "I feel we are still making the journey together...
...inventing television, or Jonas Salk vs. Albert Sabin over developing a polio vaccine. Other cases, such as the creation of the atom bomb or the computer, involved a series of contributions. Although there is a danger in personalizing history, there is also an advantage. By choosing the people we feel were most responsible for key breakthroughs, and then exploring their relations and rivalries, we hope to convey the human excitement that makes real the progress of science. We created two gatefolds--a time line of the century's discoveries (page 109) and a chart of how computing and communications converged...
