Morphing Presidents.
Watch George Washington melt into John Adams, his successor. See Bush become Clinton become Bush. In fact, you can watch all 42 presidents parade before your eyes in order of their terms.

Home sweet home.
What areas did Americans first call home? When did the West become a desirable place to live? What areas are losing population? This is one of the most dramatic ways to view the patterns in America's population growth from the late 1700's to 1990. Watch the colors go from cools to warms as an area's population grows.
