Epigraph

For I dipp'd into the future,

as far as human eye could see,

Saw the vision of the world,

and all the wonder

that would be . . .

-- Alfred Lord Tennyson

We offer our children courses in history;

why not also courses in

"Future" . . .

-- Alvin Toffler, Future Shock

Donna Keefe, Lauriel Adsit, Pam Fruehwirth,
