The specific details of title case vary widely, depending on the
particular textbook, style guide, or house style. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization#Headings_and_publication_titles.
 But the convention I was taught, and incidentally the one that
appears on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Sandiego, has lowercase
for both "in" and "is" in that title.
