Book excerpt: Departing from the annual Page One book of The New York Times front pages, Great Stories of the Century completely covers the top world-changing events of 1900 through 1999, presenting the full story, which incorporates the newspaper's headline news, other related articles, and period advertisements that reflect the pulse of American life through one hundred years of change. From the end of the Victorian age, through physical accomplishments, life-changing inventions, two horrendous world wars, the turmoil of communism, the computer age, and Clinton -- the century lives and breathes in the pages of The New York Times.
