...early ’90s, with Bowers v. Hardwick (the case which upheld the criminalization of sodomy) on the Supreme Court’s Docket, and the AIDS crisis exploding into the news, LGBT students were louder and more visible than ever. These students insisted that their professors address issues central to queer identity, demanding a class on sexual orientation and the law, and collaborating with other student groups to push for faculty diversity. Activism flared up more recently when the school decided to let military recruiters on campus rather than risk the University’s federal funding...
...Over the years, ATP festivals have featured a long roster of bands and artists that Hogan hopes to expand. “I’d love Pavement to get back together and be at ATP,” Hogan says, placing the ’90s band at the top of his “endless list” of dream performers.

"I don't think [Kayani] will let the country come apart," says Anthony Zinni, a retired four-star Marine general who from...
...pissed away what should have been his prime by curling inside the legend of the Difficult Star, acquiring an odor as rowdy and unreliable. And since he wasn't a box office magnet, why take the chance? Bio stats on the Internet Movie Database synopsize Rourke's 90s: "Turned down Bruce Willis' role in Pulp Fiction ... Filmed a role in [Terrence Malick's] The Thin Red Line, that eventually got cut.... Walked off the set of Luck of the Draw when the producers refused to let him include his pet chihuahua in the movie." Instead, Rourke, who had been...
