...look at this against a backdrop of a common and distressing problem that affects 1 of 10 women and for which no treatment exists, well, we are feeling very positive," said Michael Sand, director of clinical research for Boehringer Ingelheim, which originally developed the drug, flibanserin, in the 1990s as an antidepressant. (The drug proved not to work for depression...
...young student in the 1960s, and I was a reformer as a mayor. I cut taxes, limited the size of government, worked in partnership with the business community, and was very tough on crime. I took over a city that was dead and dying in the early 1990s and saw revitalization by the principles that I used, which were clearly consistent with Republican principles...
...when China linked its currency to the dollar in the early 1990s, it was out not to create trade surpluses but to carve out a bit of stability in turbulent global currency markets.

The issue was never resolved, but it ceased to seem so important. Could that happen with China...
...some of the best-known clubs - such as Berghain, which Britain's DJ Mag this year named as the world's best club - keep going until the following afternoon. There's always a risk that gentrification will spoil the vibe. One of the biggest haunts in the early 1990s was Tresor, a subterranean space near Potsdamer Platz. The club shut down when the area was turned into a giant shopping mall. The Love Parade, an annual techno festival that drew as many as a million people to the streets of Berlin every summer, took place for the last time there...
