"Human Power, So Great and
Original..."
On the road to discovery, elation is tempered with heartache,
persistence with despair. We bring you stories of the woman whose
womb gave rise to a new age in medicine, "the funny little fuze"
that changed the course of World War II, and more.

"...And the Truth Shall Make You
Mad!"
In leading the battle to change people's minds, the faint-hearted
need not apply. Just ask Stephen Teret, who's gone mano a
mano with the gun industry, or Azar Nafisi, the literature
professor who taught Alice in Wonderland--and brought down
her government's wrath.

The "Mind of the Scholar... Is Large
and Liberal"
Creating a new discipline out of nothing is hardly a sedentary
affair. Come "tussling" in 110 Gilman with the preeminent idea
man, dancing on New Mexico's pueblos with two sisters from
Peabody, and hammering in the nursery with the father of
behaviorism.

"My Interest Is in the
Future..."
Any attempt to predict the pioneering work of tomorrow is a
risky--some might say, foolhardy--undertaking. But we've gone and
done it anyway. Some of our picks, like medical genetics' Victor
McKusick, are safe bets. Others? Only time will tell.

launched The Chronicle of Higher Education. Plus: The
Magazine's pioneering history, at a glance; and two voices
from the past.
