...grandest statement: "Together we confess: By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping and calling us to good works." Half a millennium of strife is not instantly undone; last week's participants, unlike the Regensburgers, didn't imagine they were reuniting the church. But the Declaration does preserve faint hopes of such a reunion. And it is "momentous" in its own right, notes influential Catholic commentator Richard John Neuhaus, for seriously addressing...
...computer engineer, Tim May is spending his retirement in the picturesque hills of Corralitos, Calif. But he's not there simply for the view. May believes his spot in this rich agricultural and fishing area might spare him the hardships of a famine ushered in with the new millennium, and he's ordering gold coins and laying in food in bulk just to be sure. He's also buying weapons, adding regularly to his growing gun collection. In the coming months, says May, more and more Americans are going to realize that "we aren't going to make the deadline...
This much is beginning to emerge from the fog of claims and counterclaims: while there are more than a few fatalists like May, most of the folks responsible for fixing the nation's electronic infrastructure actually think we're going to make it into the next millennium with only minor, if any, disruptions of vital services.

Artists too will emerge stronger and better in the 2K Millennium. Entertainment in this century has been mass-produced and broadcast, rigidly controlled and protected. Media have centralized into the hands of the few; Hollywood studios, television networks and recording companies carefully distribute the stuff, cranking out a relatively modest amount of material that will be seen by everyone on the globe. But in the next century anyone will be able to create a movie, music, literature, a magazine or a video game and distribute it as bits over the network to billions. At least in theory.
