aa50PlacesLifetime.jpg (85361 bytes) 1999 (Oct.)

This issue is dedicated to the 50 most significant places in the world visited by NG correspondents (who were polled for suggestions). These were then voted on by a panel of judges. ("Space" was choosen as the 51st place).  This issue is a fitting release as the century closes, because even more that the "yellow borders," a Traveler inspires one to see many great places.
