...does the U.S. need an ambassador-at-large for war-crimes issues? This position was established during the second term of the Clinton Administration. [It] was particularly needed in the '90s, when we saw the beginning of international criminal tribunals for the first time since Nuremberg, with the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and then the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, both with the support of the U.S. This office focused on coordinating the cooperation that these tribunals needed to bring people to trial...
Though deserving of other, more flattering titles, “Signal Morning” will go down as 2009’s unlikeliest record. Its story begins in 2000 with the breakup of psych-pop revivalists The Olivia Tremor Control, who, throughout the 90s, had—along with The Apples in Stereo and Neutral Milk Hotel—served as a pillar of the Elephant Six Recording Co., a sprawling collective of indie rock bands based in Athens, Ga. With two of that decade’s finest albums—1996’s “Dusk...
Harris was the founder and CEO of Pseudo.com, an early 90s internet network that he predicted would take down CBS and NBC.

Adopting the moniker Wu Gambino to emphasize their grisly underground content, the Wu-Tang Clan propelled Raekwon’s success forward on Cuban Linx, and in turn reaped the rewards from the new niche they pioneered and would continue to dominate in the hip-hop world.As before, the core members...
That's not an objection anyone remembers Republicans making when both Bush I and Ronald Reagan delivered their direct-to-the-classroom talks in the 1980s and '90s. But if there is one conservative criticism that even liberals can relate to, it's that the speech seems part of this President's overexposure. "Every time you turn around, there he is, there he is, there he is," Dean grouses. And lately, at least, every time Obama turns around, he seems to give conservatives an opening to pounce on him. Which is why many Democrats as well as Republicans suggest...
