...that saw Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G., and the “Gangsta-Funk” aesthetic attain success as pop music—and “The Dark Side” faded into obscurity. Jacoby speculates that the rapid chart ascendancy of rap music in the mid-90s was precisely why it fell out of favor with WHRB DJs. “I think the lack of interest in rap during those years was the result of there being no real underground hip-hop scene,” he says. “Part of what college radio should...
...1980s and early '90s, the Chicago postal system couldn't exactly be counted on to deliver. Literally tons of mishandled mail was unearthed in the basements, backyards and car trunks of active and retired workers. A government task force of postal experts declared the city?s postal system "in disrepair." More than a decade later the service problems have been largely cleared up, but one monumental emblem of those humiliating bygone days-all 2.5 million square feet of it-still sits undisturbed...
...other respects, the world has moved closer to Grant's way of thinking. In the mid-'90s, fashion began steering away from minimalism towards more voluminous shapes, and the designer (who was studying early 20th century pieces in museum collections) emerged with his own understated form of maximalism.

...Jungen's most crucial moment of inspiration for the Proto- types came during a trip to New York City in the late '90s, when he wandered into Manhattan's enormous Niketown store, where athletic shoes are displayed in glass cases like precious objects. "I came there straight from the Metropolitan Museum," he says. "I was fascinated that the Nikes were on display in this museum-like environment." From there, it was just a short step to making Nike-like things for a real museum. As opposed to a lot of art that plays seriously with ideas, Jungen's masks, some...
...where are the crocodiles that were once resettled in Queensland? No one can be sure. N.T. rangers ended their relocation program in the early '90s after concluding the animals would eventually return home. Crocodile management expert Read says no animal relocated in Queensland has ever been caught again. According to Kofron's research, at least 20 of the 80 crocodiles captured in the state between 1999 and 2001 were relocated in North Queensland. Are these crocodiles too clever to be caught again? Have some of them made their way back to their old haunts? With some of these reptiles originally...
