Welcome to a new era in researching.
Let's start at the end of this issue, where the Special Projects beat
focuses on the new Internet domain name, ".tv." Next, go to the News
Online section to read about .tv sites to visit. Back at the top of
the issue, the Corporations beat invites you to examine integrity
and corporate openness -- transparency -- issues. Among the foundations
you'll read about the month is one that blows into this new era of
ours full force: It plans to take applicants across an electronic
threshold when they search for guidelines. In People, you'll meet
Canadians, Asian Americans and journalists who are leading in these
new times. The International beat sends you into the enclave of royal
genealogies, with crowning family trees from around the world now
at your fingertips. The Tools section brings the entire U.S. population
to you -- statistically speaking. Now, that brings the new era to
your desktop, doesn't it?
