October 19, 1998: More NFL action, name-checking the Patriots' QB Drew Bledsoe and Jets coach Bill Parcells in an admittedly asymmetrical headline that at least rhymed and alliterated. (The Jets won 24-14.)
The first text promo talks about satisfying your Dow "Jones," which my boss nixed the first time I tried it, on the grounds that it was too much of a drug reference. A few months later, I guess it didn't really matter.
[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.]
