Much more than just a periodical on disc, Newsweek Interactive offers lasting reference value, with topics of enduring interest reported with the same editorial skill that has made Newsweek the choice of 24 million readers worldwide.
In this issue of Newsweek Interactive, original features stories examine the incredible world of motion picture special effects, as well as the fundamental questions and controversies behind the debate over national health care.
Behind The Screens: The Artful Science Of Special Effects.
Movie special effects can now make the utterly impossible look as real as the house next door. Using classic footage from King Kong to Jurassic Park, in-depth audio interviews with the leading practitioners of the art, vivid photo essays and incisive writing, you'll learn the tricks of the trade- as well as hear about some of the even more incredible effects to come.
What Ails Us?
Health care in the United States is in critical condition. While spiraling costs threaten to capsize the national budget, increasing numbers of Americans go without coverage at all. Can anyone cure this patient? Award-winning Newsweek columnist Robert Samuelson takes a tough look at the tradeoffs, richly illustrated with video, audio, and graphics- along with a moving photo essay by Lynn Johnson and an innovative Interactive poll that lets you sample the national mood.
