Surviving 1984 George Orwell’s “1984” remains the most controversial prophecy of our century even today. Yet, the time of Orwell’s nightmare is only two years away. How will America-and more important-mankind, survive until the year 2000? Will the world find itself in the throws of a Third World War? Will Israel survive the agressions of the P.L.O? Will the post-Vietnam recession turn into a depression? These will be the questions we will try to answer in the Spring issue of RHAPSODY. But we need your prophecies as well.
