The US population exceeds 265,000,000. Bill Clinton, the first Democrat in a dozen years, became President. The US went to war with Iraq. We're a little worried that the world will collapse at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2000. Everyone is watching Pulp Fiction and listening to grunge or hip hop. Everyone wants to start an Internet business.

Ronald Regan was president, the Cold War ended. Americans were afraid to take Tylenol and rejected the New Coke. Everyone is watching Saturday Night Live, David Letterman, MTV and The Cosby Show. We're not watching MASH anymore. Everyone is listening to Michael Jackson, Madonna and the latest invasion of the Brits: New Wave.
