The situation hasn't been this dire since the toppling of communism in the Velvet Revolution of 1989. Ironically, these bad tidings are mostly the inevitable outcomes of much delayed reforms, notably privatization. Four fifths of the country's economy is alleged to be in private hands a rate similar to the free markets of Estonia, Slovakia and Hungary.
I think the law of old age will get me eventually just as the law of the new era caught Douglas and destroyed him. It is thirty years now since the great Chicago fire swept my fortune away. I saved one lot out of the wreck. A skyscraper wanted it to complete its necessary ground space. So I leased it; and the rental keeps me. The lease will be out in 1989 but no matter for that.
For the 12 years of trickle down economics we built a false prosperity on a hollow base as our national debt quadrupled. From 1989 to 1992 we experienced the slowest growth in a half century. For too many families, even when both parents were working, the American dream has been slipping away. In 1992 the American people demanded that we change.
A book would become a continuous text file instead of a set of pages, with caps for the terms in italic, bold or underlined of the print version. Soon afterwards he defined Project Gutenberg's mission: to put at everyone's disposal, in electronic versions, as many literary works of the public domain as possible for free. = Persevering from 1972 to 1989
In the evolution of U.S. military theory, it can be argued that this model combining massive industrial might and manpower finally ended in 1989. Although, by then, technological advances to conventional military capabilities seemed to be approaching the destructive power, or more precisely, the system lethality of nuclear weapons.
While regional talk shops, such as ASEAN and the African Union, embarked on serious efforts to establish customs and currency zones the countries of central and eastern Europe have drifted apart and intentionally so. Intra-regional trade has declined every single year since 1989. Intra-regional foreign direct investment is almost non-existent.
The Eastern Question Revisited A lecture organized by the daily "Politiken" in Copenhagen, Denmark June 25, 2001 By: Dr. Sam Vaknin When the USSR disintegrated virtually overnight, in 1989, its demise was often compared to that of the Ottoman Empire's. This was a very lacking comparison. Yet, both left a power vacuum in the Balkan in their sorry wake.
I read about one follower who committed suicide after "speaking incessantly about Rama and about making enough money to get back into the group." I read about Brenda Kerber, a follower who disappeared from her White Plains apartment on October 9th, 1989, and who, at the printing of this book, is still listed as "missing."
Think back think back just twelve short months ago to the world we knew as 1989 began. One year, one year ago the people of Panama lived in fear under the thumb of a dictator. Today democracy is restored. Panama is free. "Operation Just Cause" has achieved its objective. And the number of military personel in Panama is now very close to what it was before the operation began.
