Such problems appeared in only "a small portion of the patients in our clinical trials," says Dr. Hjalmar Lagast, a vice president for Solvay Pharmaceuticals, which makes Marinol. He notes that the drug comes in three strengths, allowing doctors to pick the right dose. By the early '90s, at the height of the U.S. aids epidemic, many patients so preferred marijuana to Marinol that they would use the street drug regardless of legality or safety. Abrams and a few others began pushing the government to permit new studies of marijuana to find out what these patients were doing to themselves...
...been Jesse Helms' and Strom Thurmond's ideological buddy on Capitol Hill, Wellstone would have had something special that set him apart from most of his colleagues. Wellstone was unapologetic about his convictions. He did not change his views based on polls or focus groups. Throughout the '90s, as the Senate shifted to Republican control, and Democrats moved further to the center, Wellstone passionately held on to his ideals...

By the time Snoop Doggy Dogg's Doggystyle became the first rap album...
...around, it's the mesh baseball cap, and it's usually worn high on the head, for a hardy agrarian look, or sideways, for a dash of urban knowingness. Pontiac, John Deere and their industrial brethren had been planting logos on the caps for years when in the late '90s aspiring rock musicians in such hip neighborhoods as the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, N.Y., started wearing them as a tribute to Rust and Farm Belt masculinity. Now fashion designers like Heatherette, below, place them on the perfectly coiffed heads of runway models, and Hollywood blades like Benicio Del Toro wear...
