This Time Warner Pathfinder (discussed in the
November 11, 1994 Scout Report)
Time Magazine site, released to coincide with a
Time cover story of the same title, is the first in what is to be a five part site that will eventually cover 100 of the 20th Century's most influential people. At present the site contains profiles of 20 of the century's most influential "leaders & revolutionaries," including Margaret Sanger, Vladimir Lenin, Winston Churchill, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ayatolla Ruholla Khomeini, and the anonymous Chinese protester who blocked the tank in the Tienanmen Square protest in 1989. Stories about the personalities by such authors as Gloria Steinem, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Salman Rushdie, Elie Wiesel, and Stanley Karnow, among others, highlight the site. There is also a timeline of each personality, as well as a timeline of the century. For the personalities who were covered by
Time, an original in-depth story from the
Time archives is available. Forthcoming throughout 1998 and 1999 are sections on "entertainers & artists, builders & titans, scientists & thinkers, and heroes and inspirations." The site is also available in a Shockwave Flash version.
