COVER: The Prison Industrial Complex. Cover by Seymour Chwast.

THE PRISON -INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX: The number of Americans behind bars is now larger than the prison population in all of China--and it continues to grow, even as violent crime rates fall. The economies of whole regions have been skewed toward incarceration, and the job of incarceration is increasingly being handed over to private companies. America's prison-industrial complex, the author argues, is rapidly corrupting the criminal-justice system. By Eric Schlosser.

LOST IN TRANSLATION: "A penny, which becomes secured, is an acquired penny"--behold the metamorphosis of one familiar saying, after a computer-aided excursion from English into German and back. But computer programs that can translate are actually getting to be quite good. by Stephen Budiansky.

AMERICA'S MAGINOT LINE: The development of ballistic missiles that any country can obtain threatens to make America's military presence in Asia untenable. By Paul Bracken.

FICTION and POETRY by Billy Collins, Peter Ho Davies, Cathy Smith Bowers.
PLUS other regular features, Books, Travel, Arts and Leisure and Departments!
