= __THE 1990'S__ =  The 1990's were a decade of beginnings and endings. From explosions to

 murders, and from murders to the Seven Modern Wonders of the World. From

 fashion trends, to songs made into movies. This decade was a decade of

 unforgettable starters, and they will never go out of style.  President Bush came to the problem with conservation and

 consequences as constituting the essential criterion in determining meaning,

 truth, or value. In 1989, Chinese military made a “for democracy” law that got

 big in Beijing's Tienanmen Square (which killed hundreds of protesters).

 Dictator Saddam Hussein took his troops nowhere form Kuwait by the

 date of January 15 of '91, which a United States led combination a said to

 take them out. On the 24    th     of February (1991), they began their attack. On the

 27     th   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> , Kuwait City was set free. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Sagging started in 1992 with the rapping duo “Kriss Kross” that wore their <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> pants backwards and sagging. It started (rumor; falsely accused) in the jail <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> system, before it was out on the streets, it meant that you were a “gay inmate <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> wanting sex”. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Tina Turner inspired movie “What's Love Got To Do With It?” based on the <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> hit song by Turner that was released in 1993 with stars including Angela Basset, <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Lawrence Fishburne, and Jennifer Lewis. It started with young Tina, or Anna <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Mae Bullock, (Basset) singing in the church choir, and went to far, for she had <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> no where to shine off her talent, but the she was discovered by Ike Turner, a   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> famous singer, in a nearby night club. She instantly fell in love with Ike, they <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> married, and set for fame; until he started beating her. She tried to run away, <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> but failed. With her 2 sons, she left Ike and began her own fame adventure.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> The English Channel ( or Chunnel) connects Folkstore, England, to

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Sangatte, France (which is 31 miles apart), and was opened up on May 6   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">  th   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">  ,

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> 1994. It is the world's longest undersea tunnel. It goes underwater 23 miles.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Napoleons engineer, Albert Mathieu, designed the very 1   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">  st   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">  tunnel in 1802. In

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> 1996, the American Society of Civil Engineers named the tunnel as one of the

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> The famous double murder of Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Ronald Goldman supposedly from the running back OJ Simpson spread from

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> one side of America to the other. Apparently, Mrs. Simpson was seeing Mr.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Goldman while she was still married to Mr. Simpson, and the murder seemed to

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> be a “personal” one. The leather glove that was found at the murder scene

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> matched another single leather glove that was found at Mr. Simpson's home.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Before June 17   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">  th   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> , Mrs. Simpson and Mr. Goldman were found dead in the front

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> of her condo. Soon after the murder, reporters found OJ driving on Interstate

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> 405, and started a long police chase that lasted 2 ½ hours long. He was found,

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> and accused of manslaughter, but was never actually found to be put in jail. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> The Atlanta Games were hard. They began with the great Muhammad <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Ali ( best known sports figure). But 8 days later, a terrorist bomb attack struck <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia. The explosion killed one <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> woman, but 111 were injured. They resumed the games in '72, with Michael <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Johnson, who starred in track and field, he brought his very best with it. He   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> would be matched with France's Marie-Jose Perec, who changed her own <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> 200-400 double albeit with much attention. Carl Lewis came out of his shell to   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> win the ninth gold metal of his amazing Olympic career with a long jump. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Donovan Bailey set the world record in the 100 and led Canada to win over a   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> faltering U.S. team in the 4x100 relay.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Cloning was discovered in early 1997 in Scotland, starting with Polly, the

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> 1   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">  st   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">  genetically engineered sheep with human genes. Created by Ian Wilmut

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> and Keith Campbell, Polly was a Poll Dorset lamb cloned from human somatic

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> tissues. Along with her usual complement of sheep genes, she captured

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> human genes that mixed in with her human genes, that apparently,

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> contributed to her important development.
