...regularly published books and special-issue magazines. The issue in your hands, THE YEAR IN PICTURES 2000, is the first brought to you by the editors of TIME, more than a couple of whom have served tours of duty at LIFE.

If the TIME sensibility informs the structure of the issue, we hope you will agree that the Life perspective--a picture really is worth...
This era in our public life seems sure to be remembered for its frequent outbursts of political and legal hysteria--round-the-clock, cable-televised scrums of lawyers, pols and pundits scuffling over the latest Great American Court Case.

The scientific high point of the year--if not of all intellectual history--was the decoding of human DNA, announced with much fanfare at the White House in late June by two scientists, J. Craig Venter and Francis Collins, whose agreement to share the credit and a podium was all the more remarkable because they can hardly stand to breathe the same air. Passions were no less intense on the Internet, where the music industry fought a rear-guard action against the forces--and free music--unleashed...
