...alternative-rock-ruled early '90s, dancing was not a requirement. Who wants to sweat in flannel? Now, with teen pop topping the charts, good choreographers are in demand. Three in particular have emerged as major movers and hip shakers: Tina Landon (who has worked with Lopez and is teaching Aguilera those salsa steps), Darrin Henson (Spears, 'N Sync) and Fatima Robinson (Aaliyah, Backstreet Boys). Says Judy McGrath, president of MTV Group: "These days, when kids send us home videos, hoping to get on MTV, they're dancing in their bedroom, not playing air guitar...
...ticking taken off a mattress that was discarded on the street (and reportedly had belonged to the recently deceased Quentin Crisp), the fashion pages were practically wet from all the drooling. They raved over the inventiveness and "elegant edginess" of such outfits as the the two pairs of flannel pants with Hermes belts, one of which was retailored as a jacket, right, or the navy sweatshirts with Yankees baseball caps worked into the shoulders.

Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein, Sleater-Kinney's singer-guitarists, lacked the commercial ambition to come up with a moniker that didn't glare at them from the highway. "Our friends gave us a lot of flak," says Brownstein, "naming all the other roads in Olympia...
...addressed my freshman class the following year at a small New England college, I just couldn't get excited at her exhortation that women not let themselves be defined by men. But for millions of unemployed, unappreciated, overqualified women sitting at home waiting for the man in the gray flannel suit to return from work, Friedan memorably identified "the problem that had no name." Today she's the grande dame of the modern women's movement, arguably the most profound social revolution of the century. "Not arguably," she told TIME in an interview.
