What will tomorrow bring? World War III is likely underway. Cancer may soon become more manageable than incurable. The yuan won't beat the dollar (yet), and competition will grow bolder in every industry, from banking to Broadway.

The answers can be found in the next issue of the UD Magazine, and on a special accompanying webpage.

Other feature stories include:

• The Elephant in the Room: Understanding the conservative student experience and how the “agree to disagree mindset” at UD could serve as a model for a bickering nation 

• An Island of Hope: A first-person account from alumnus and math professor Tony Seraphin, who returned to his hurricane-battered homeland, "but it no longer looked like home"

• 10 tips for hosting the perfect holiday party from lifestyle editing guru and alumna Erica Cohen Finamore
