Operation Desert Storm to liberate Kuwait from invading Iraq begins Jan. 16. Basketball great Magic Johnson reveals that he is HIV-positive. Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer is arrested. He is thought to have killed over 17 men, eating parts of some of them. He’s later killed by a fellow prisoner in jail. Another famous maneater is Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter (played by Anthony Hopkins). The movie “Silence of the Lambs” teaches us what to serve with a census taker’s liver – “fava beans and a nice Chianti.” The nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court becomes a media circus when a former co-worker, Anita Hill, accuses him of having sexually harassed her. The televised hearings become a national pasttime. Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman, is arrested in a Florida adult movie theater for indecent exposure. |
