In this issue, U.S.News & World Report examined trends of the 1980s and reported experts' predictions for the next 20 years. "In the wings, they see astonishing advances in medicine, space, agriculture, and communications that could vanquish cancer, delay the aging process, provide food for all from the Arctic and the oceans, and whisk huge loads of passengers in space vehicles to all corners of the Earth. Behind that prospect, however, they see another-a world growing hotter, drier, dirtier, more crowded, and more quarrelsome than ever as poverty, famine, and terrorism become routine facts of daily life for billions."
