...sudden surge in popularity? An RV is a classic '90s sensible luxury item. At the low end of the tow end, trailers start with a $3,000 folding-camper model. At the high end, $80,000 buys a luxury liner (a "fifth wheel" in RV argot) replete with mechanical slide-out rooms, ceramic kitchen tile and Whirlpool bath. And they fit nicely behind that other '90s sensible luxury item, the sport utility vehicle...
...thousand years, you would think we would stop the Jezebels (the American Medical Association) from attempting to kill Elijah and the Prophets, who just want to depend on their God for the preservation of their lives. Your story on Dennis and Lorie Nixon, "Her Dying Prayers," illustrates the typical '90s rush to judgment that would convict a family on the basis of its religious beliefs and the fact that its members pray to God for healing.

The group's first two CDs, Sleater-Kinney (1995) and Call the Doctor (1996), received raves in the rock press as part of the general media hype about feminist rockers, but those albums were slight...
