Prior to its launching, CoverMaker was extensively tested in a yearlong pilot program that involved 80 teachers and 2,000 students in 50 schools. The response from both groups was overwhelmingly positive. "The students love it," reports Georgia Lee, an American-history teacher at Captain Shreve High School in Shreveport, La. "They come in before school, during lunch, after school. Some of them were students who didn't even know where the library was before CoverMaker...
...days, you might sigh, when an hour was 45 minutes and sometimes 90, and when people ate with spoons, and butter-knives were but a dream in Shreve, Crump of Low's darkest recesses. But if Alvin Toffler heard you he would scold, consigning you to the First Wave, which began with the original harvest.

He marvels, "When you look at a virgin forest after it rains, water runs through the streams clear as gin." Adds Shreve: "I hope and pray my son can enjoy the outdoors the way I have and live as a free person. This may be one of the last places he might do that...
...years, the 102-story Empire State Building dominated the skyline, tallest of the tall in a city of proud skyscrapers. Then, last year, the twin towers of the World Trade Center rose eight stories higher. Feeling dwarfed by these brash new comers, Robert W. Jones, vice president of Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the original Empire architects, reflected: "Here's a building that's been the tallest building for 40 years, and now it's no longer the tallest." As Jones tells it:"Almost with tongue in cheek, I thought that maybe we could add a few floors...
