...dropped out because political activity wasn't really what they wanted was just to chill with people who shared their interests in food, music and culture. "Working together," as Santini says, does not necessarily come through establishing further divisions in hopes of being the Young Lords of the 1990s...
...good thing. Government investigators believe Kaczynski took buses from Lincoln to Helena to Butte, Montana, where he could have connected to Salt Lake City, Utah--the origin of several of the bomber's 1980s strikes--or to Sacramento, California, and the San Francisco Bay Area, from which four 1990s bombs were sent.

From 1990 to 1994, industrial giants like Nissan closed factories as car production fell almost...
...INSECURITY GOT YOU DOWN? WORried about all those new dead-end, low-pay McJobs that masquerade as gainful employment? Maybe the U.S. should look to Europe, where unions are still muscular, minimum wages high, and most workers insulated from the brutal hire-and-fire culture that characterizes mid-1990s America...
