The first text promo reads "Stock Market Plunges," whereas just the day before, the text was "Will the Rally Continue?" Apparently August 1998 showed a lot of stock market volatility.

20 Years Ago on AOL.com: August 11, 1998 -- A Gap in the Record
August 11, 1998: As you can see from the header, this is a printout of the HTML mockup that I used for copyfitting the promo block text. (According to the footer, I printed it on August 22, apparently after I realized I had a gap in my printouts.)
The first text promo reads "Stock Market Plunges," whereas just the day before, the text was "Will the Rally Continue?" Apparently August 1998 showed a lot of stock market volatility.
[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998.
I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them
in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
