03:08:92 week in revue


A full page of clippings obscures the graphic flow in this page. Scrambling to find news items by the end of the week could be blamed.

The two devastating earthquakes recently, recall the massive quake this week of 1992 in Turkey. Actually, a rough week of weather throughout the states with tornadoes and flooding. A rough week for President Bush with an uphill finance battle. The House of Reprehensibles banking scandal broke when it was revealed that they allowed members to overdraw their House checking accounts, but were never penalized by the House Bank. Oops! Out of the 22 representatives sited, 3 were Republicans. Menachem Begin, Israel’s 6th Prime Minister, succumbed this week.

12.13.92 week in revue


The Indonesian earthquake was the big news this week in 1992. One of Hollywood’s solid actors died. Dana Andrews was a trained operatic singer but is best known for his acting roles in the 1940’s and 50‘s. Once had his singing voice dubbed because the studio was unaware he could sing. He was the brother of Steve Forrest, star of the TV show, S.W.A.T in the late 70’s. A disco hit was garnered from the theme song. Finally, I could not resist the visual pun on Clinton’s cabinet choice.
