Cover illustration by Seymour Chwast. JIHAD Vs. MCWORLD: The world is caught between two opposing tendencies. One, "Jihad," is the planet's growing fragmentation along tribal and sectarian lines. The other, "McWorld," is the planet's growing electronic, commercial, and cultural integration. Neither tendency, the author writes, is benign. BNy BENJAMIN R. BARBER. WATCHING AMERICANS WATCH TV: For nearly fifty years the A. C. Nielsen Company has virtually monopolized the national TV-ratings business. Increasingly, however, the company is facing criticism of its methods and results. Nielsen's answer is a device that uses digital portraits to recognize viewers. It can also determine if they leave during commercials. by ERIK LARSON. WHAT MARKET VALUES ARE DOING TO MEDICINE: The values that underlie the way doctors practice medicine, the author writes, derive from the notion that there exists an implicit contract between society and the medical profession.
