With most magazines targeting ever narrowing niches, publications that claim the whole world as their province are a welcome counterbalance. The comparatively comprehensive visions they offer remind us that the world is far too complicated to fit neatly on an advertising rate card.

Globalization is a corporate plot. They save their superficial

“Opportunities…
have melded
with technology
and reform
to transform
many smaller,
so-called
backwater countries
into economic
dynamos.”
“In line with
a recent
corporate trend,
Chairman
Louis V. Gerstner Jr. and other top
executives…will
retain their
private offices,
but everyone else
will work in
virtually doorless,
walless cubicles.”
“Some scientists
believe that
pharmacogenomics—
the discipline of
finding the genes
that are responsible
for different
reactions to
drugs—could
be the quickest
route to better
drugs for everyone
from cancer
to cholesterol.”
“A study…
suggests that
the warmer
ocean temperatures
expected from a doubling of
carbon dioxide will resemble
semi-permanent El Niño
conditions.”
“[Edible] plates may represent the future of
packaging. And, with 20 percent of the world’s
population starving or malnourished, they might one day represent the future of food, too.”
