Meanwhile, GM is playing catch-up in the hot market for hybrids because it has been losing sales to Toyota and Honda. The Japanese companies began developing hybrids in the '90s, when Detroit scoffed at the technology as economically unviable. "GM's reasoning with hybrids was, Why bother when trucks are selling?" says Matheson. Toyota put hybrids on the market even when the company knew they wouldn't make money right away. "Detroit doesn't think that way," Matheson says. Both GM and Ford are coming to market with their first hybrid models, while Toyota and Honda are already selling...
...BUTT-HEAD THE MIKE JUDGE COLLECTION, VOL. 1 MTV sells a dream: coolness and popularity. Creator Judge's Beavis was the antidream, embodied in two MTV-watching cretins with a taste for dirty jokes ("Heh heh heh. You said unit"). The cartoons--40 of them selected here--satirized '90s teen culture while snidely trashing music videos. TV rarely critiques itself with such pith. Heh heh heh. I said pith...
...North Sea in 1973. The gamble paid off with another modest find--60 million bbl. off the coast of the Netherlands--and allowed Van Dyke to be part of the development of deepwater exploration technology, such as 2-D and 3-D seismic analysis, during the 1980s and '90s.

There is no one like this...
BROOKS: Abortion rates are down a third, divorce rates are down, crime rates are down some 70%, school violence is down, suicide rates, drug addiction--all of the social indicators that were going the wrong way in the '70s and '80s turned around in the early '90s or so, and are still going in the right direction. So to me, we've changed the way we raise kids, and we probably made them a little more boring, but it is a remarkable generation of wholesomeness. If you don't like wholesomeness, then you're a pessimist, but if you sort...
