Nineteen years after the death of Martin Luther King Jr., black and white Americans alike say the nation is still far from fulfilling his dream of seeing the two races live in harmony. An overwhelming 92% of blacks and 87% of whites polled for TIME last week by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman* agree with the statement "Racial prejudice is still very common in the U.S." Fully 59% of blacks say they have been insulted because of their race at one time or another.

If everyone is right, and the Giants win their first world championship in 30 years, Coach Parcells will...
...lapel. By day three, she was fairly doubled over with laughter at the good time being had: "It's such fun waking up with all of these people!" But the credo for The Morning Program came at the end of its fourth show. As part of a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, the cast sang We Shall Overcome...
