COVER: WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE: How Columbus' voyages transformed both East and West.

The true story of Christopher Columbus is not the encounter of the Old World with the New; it is the story of how two old worlds were linked and made one. Columbus's voyages changed the ethnic com position of two continents, revolutionized the world's diet and altered the global environment. His legacy is the "Columbian Exchange": the crucial intermingling of peoples, animals, plants and diseases between Europe, Africa and the Americas. This is the theme of "Seeds of Change," the exhibition now at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, and this special issue of NEWSWEEK. Because we think "Seeds of Change" holds the key to the mean ing of Columbus's voyages, the editors of NEWSWEEK and the scholars who developed this exciting exhibition are pleased to bring you the fruits of their collaboration.
