When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in August 1990, TIME assessed the political liabilities--and questions of style--associated with the first President Bush's SHOWDOWN with the Iraqi leader. His son would revisit those issues...
...firms, like Sibneft, paid even lower rates without incurring the Kremlin's wrath. The root of the crisis lies in personal rivalry. Early in Putin's first presidential term, the oligarchs and the Kremlin made an informal agreement: if the oligarchs stayed out of politics, the Kremlin would not revisit the dubious privatization deals that brought them their billions. Khodorkovsky chafed under this, and by Putin's second term he was funding opposition parties in the Duma. He claimed this was to encourage a vibrant democracy; the Kremlin suspected him of buying his own political bloc. Khodorkovsky...
...clashes (again, with Tina, as portrayed in the 1993 movie that was made about their stormy marriage and breakup, What's Love Got to Do With It). Rocket 88 was a product of Turner's collaborative side. The song explored the major sonic themes that Presley would revisit years later on That's All Right and then some - Rocket 88 was brash and it was sexy; it took elements of the blues, hammered them with rhythm and attitude and electric guitar, and reimagined black music into something new.

The Japanese public was outraged, the fate of the kidnap victims became Koizumi's biggest headache, and the issue cramped Japan's ability...
...pleasure of TV on DVD is getting to revisit another era--sometimes two eras at once. The Jetsons Season 1 (Warner Home Video; $64.92) is as much about New Frontier 1962 as about the distant future. Its ditzy slapstick is like the peanut-butter-and-jelly mix Goober Grape--if you didn't love it as a kid, you're not going to acquire the taste as an adult--and the pop-culture gags (like rock star Jet Screamer and his hit Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah) have not aged well. But the animation is still a classic...
