- 372: The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles

He has come up with two very different endings to the novel and wishes to ... with his novel. He has said that it is the job of the author to describe the conflict after having chosen the outcome. However, Fowles himself seems to play quite an active role in The French Lieutenant's Woman , often jumping in to give modern day references such as in the case of Mrs. Poultney and the Gestapo.

- 378: Eurodisney
- EuroDisney opened in April of 1992, and was expected to be the biggest attraction in France. So what happened?

However trouble arose in paradise, the Colombians thinking they could use their advantage tried to get more money out of the United States. Naturally TR went ballistic and the Colombians lost out. There was no way that another country would challenge the great United States.
