...vociferous protest by the Queer Resistance Front, who picketed outside with posters accusing President Ronald Reagan with murderous negligence in the early years of the AIDS epidemic.

"Sarah, Plain & Tall," whooped "Y2K: The Movie" before Thanksgiving. Millennium-themed advertisements are almost universally regarded as lame. And even as Y2K computer problems are beginning to surface--people in Philadelphia have been getting jury notices for service in February 1900--there's not much excitement over the impending milestone...
