...delivered on Nov. 23, 1936, when the first sellout issue of LIFE kick-started a publishing phenomenon unlike any in the 20th century. For 64 years, in weekly and monthly editions as well as in specials and books, LIFE chronicled the world in pictures, proving time and again, even as video technologies exploded and our ideas of sensory experience expanded, that there was what Luce called "a dynamic power" in the still image. A photograph could command attention and demand contemplation--it could evoke or provoke an emotion--in a way that words, standing alone, simply could...
...morning. Then John McCain was going to win the nomination, the Red Sox were going to win the World Series, Marion Jones was going to win five gold medals and Tommy Lee was going to win Pamela Anderson's heart back. No, no, no and no. Even when it seemed like something happened this year, it didn't. Elian looked at Disney World and went back home. We kept our Miranda rights. Those missing top-secret computer hard drives at Los Alamos were behind the copy machine. Nobody, it turned out, married a multi-millionaire...
...Year's Eve, 1999. It was 1993 when Conan O'Brien started his "In the Year 2000" segment ("In the year 2000 Roger Ebert will be so overweight and out of shape, he will no longer be able to lift either thumb.").

By 1999, Pat Robertson was selling tickets to seminars where people were taught how to store beans and corn...
...Even before the clock struck midnight, you knew it wasn't happening. Prices had been slashed for undersold events--even ones that involved Sting. The Champagne shortage, despite an ever increasing number of rap video shoots, never materialized. So when the global odometer first flipped in New Zealand--a place experts believed was so dependent on technology it would surely implode if its computers believed the year was 1900--it was only a little shocking that absolutely nothing happened anywhere on or above the globe. Airplanes stayed in the air. Y2K bunker dwellers began to pack up canned food...
...that Congress would simply spend the surplus before it can be used for bill paying. And George W., whose father had notoriously frosty relations with Greenspan, has gone out of his way to court the chairman. A few weeks ago, after their get-acquainted meeting in Washington, he even squeezed the uncomfortable-looking Greenspan on camera. But when you start talking like the bears, as Bush has been doing, maybe bear hugs are just what come naturally...
