...seen. One good sign is that despite his windy speech at the annual Macworld Expo in San Francisco--which featured four movie stars, three CEOs, rock singer Peter Gabriel and former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali--most software developers came away optimistic. The big question now is whether Apple's hitherto loyal consumers will keep the faith...
...tries to tell both simultaneously and does so with admirable evenhandedness. To be sure, some of the most powerful sequences are those of white men behaving badly and of Native Americans making their last, futile stands against the invaders--like Chief Joseph's 1877 flight toward Canada with his hitherto peaceful Nez Perce tribe, which launched deadly raids against the pursuing Army troops while trying to outrun them, only to surrender, in the brutal cold of Montana, just 40 miles from the border.

The real frontier was urban--a place of hitherto unimagined overcrowding, of cultural collision enforced by huge-scale immigration, of rapid change, where class ground against class like the imperfect rollers of a giant machine. Its epitome was New York City--Bagdad-on-the-Subway, as the writer O. Henry called it--a city in convulsive and continuous transition, bursting...
