Three Crimson plays later, quarterback Vin Ferrara looked for junior Flanker Mike Halligan but found Bucknell strong safety John Henry. The interception gave the Bison the ball on the Harvard 32. Four plays later it was, as Yogi Berra would say, deja vu all over again: Glus lobbed the ball to Gentile on the same slow-curl route over the middle, putting the Bison...
...setting was new. Never before had the annual International AIDS Conference, now convening for the 10th time, taken place in Asia. And yet the 10,000 researchers and others gathered in Yokohama, Japan, found it hard to shake a terrible sense of deja vu. Once again, despite their efforts, the epidemic is galloping ahead: from 14 million people infected worldwide in 1993 to 17 million today. Once again, disappointing results have led U.S. researchers to postpone large-scale trials of experimental vaccines. Once again, a cure is nowhere in sight...
...generation gap these days. It's reflected in the debate over which decade is worthiest of feeling nostalgic for. People of the '90s flee from the saggy current Zeitgeist toward some more wired, more meaningful time.

Diederich had just been expelled from Haiti when "Papa Doc" Duvalier thwarted President Kennedy's attempt to remove him from power in 1963. "The lesson of Papa Doc's defying the U.S. has not been lost on those...
Hearing the first few minutes of The Division Bell, the new album by Pink Floyd that stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard charts for four weeks, a listener has a distinct sense of deja vu. Mysterious rumbling noises on Cluster One, the first song, set a cosmic tone, and then comes What Do You Want from Me, with its languid beat and spare, spaced-out ambiance. It all seems reminiscent of the band's 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon, which sold more than 15 million copies and stayed on Billboard's Top 200 album chart...
