In the summer of 1996, the world converged upon Atlanta for the Olympic Games.

But for all its complexity, this world is rapidly converging.

Real and dream worlds, past and present, converge.

The world converged on Tennessee, where the Legislature was still in session.

The worlds of politics and drama converged, since some leading playwrights of this period were also politicians.

THE world converges on New York City from within and without.

Sometimes I felt the whole world was converging on this little room.

As the on-line world converges with the cable medium, channels will be more than merely the places where communities of interest congregate.

It is, more precisely, a place where worlds converge: the rich and the poor; the order of Europe and the chaos outside it.

At the store, the two worlds converge, brushing up against each other as they thumb through neatly stacked piles of shirts.
