WINNERS OF 1991
</hdr><body>
<p> Boris Yeltsin, the comeback kid of Russian politics, deftly
toppled the Kremlin and inherited the nuclear button...The
Teamsters said goodbye to the Mafia. Against all odds, the most
corrupt U.S. labor union elected an underdog reformer as
president--Watch out, wiseguys...Sam Skinner moved up from
Transportation Secretary to displace arrogant-to-the-end John
Sununu. Skinner was just what George Bush needed--a crisis
manager who flies coach class...Wal-Mart isn't just a
discount store anymore. Sam Walton's brainchild surpassed Sears
in 1991 as the largest U.S. retailer...Nirvana found its
place in alternative-rock heaven. The hit single Smells Like
Teen Spirit has become an anthem for apathetic kids...Aung
San Suu Kyi couldn't pick up her Nobel Peace Prize this year
because the regime in Burma (also known as Myanmar) holds her
under house arrest, but she provides a beacon of democratic hope
to people caught in one of the world's worst remaining tyrannies...Luke Perry and Jason Priestly are the lucky residents of
Beverly Hills, 90210, the coolest ZIP code on earth. For fans
of these sensitive heartthrobs, swooning is still in style...Ties were big sellers this year. For folks too strapped for
a fashion overhaul, flashy neckwear was an easy way to spruce
up a dull outfit...Air kissing, once mocked, is the way to
greet people at social gatherings these days, now that the
three-strain flu and everything else is going around. Direct eye
contact, however, is still permitted.
