Close your eyes, and picture it — Monday, June 24, 1996. Bill Clinton is president and competing with Bob Dole for re-election. Alanis Morissette and Hootie and the Blowfish are dominating the airwaves. The Dow Jones is cruising past a new high of 5700 points. The first Mission: Impossible is finally making it to the “dollar” theater and Ghostbusters II was just released on VHS. America OnLine (AOL) is still the reigning dial-up service and Friends is still dominating Thursday nights on NBC.
