For the PM update, we went with more fall TV, featuring a photo of Calista Flockhart, since we were still at peak
Ally McBeal. The My News headline references the

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.]
