...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 (page 141)--as a reminder that great thinking is part of a continuous group endeavor...
Meanwhile, scores of smaller stocks are "excruciatingly undervalued," as Prudential Securities analyst Claudia Mott puts it. The Russell 2000 small-stock index is down 16% in 12 months. Yet many small stocks have growth rates that exceed their earnings multiples, and the group tends to do best when the U.S. economy is strong and foreign economies are weak, as now.

Under the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, children are guaranteed the right to physical and moral integrity. In 1996, 122 governments, including the U.S., committed themselves to eradicate sexual abuse of children. We sincerely hope that the American government and citizens will continue to implement the 1994 law, which allows for prosecution of Americans who sexually...
