20 Years Ago on AOL.com: June 4, 1999 -- Red Corvettes, Summer Movies, Tiananmen 10-Year

June 4, 1999: We led off with car buying, featuring a red Corvette in the top spot; in the My News headlines, we see that NATO bombings in Yugoslavia continued, despite the nearness of a peace deal:

For the PM update, we went with a movie preview featuring Austin Powers 2. In the My News headlines, we see the item, "Security Tight in Tiananmen Square" for the 10-year anniversary:

[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.]
