America at Century's End.

Abstract

Life in today bears little resemblance to that of 40 or 50 years ago. AIDS, crack, homelessness, latchkey children and surrogate mothers are all indicators that the pace of change has outstripped the ability of our institutions to adapt. In America at Century's End the contributors have written essays tracing the feel and pulse of American life. The result is a candid snapshot of approaching the 21st century.
