...have a place on our website www.time.com where you can express your own opinions. CBS Radio has been broadcasting short profiles on each selection. A book series is available (800-692-1133), and we are hoping to produce a coffee-table volume for Christmas. And Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London has just mounted an exhibition of our selections...

The museum will incorporate wax figures from upcoming issues on Scientists and Thinkers (March) and Heroes and Inspirations (June) as they are published. The series culminates with a year-end issue dedicated to the Person of the Century; a space in Madame Tussaud's will be set aside as a permanent site for a statue...
