No wonder he was alcoholic - can you imagine standing on top of a tank in Moscow, and then the next minute you and the tank have suddenly moved thousands of miles to the west?

The super conducting super collider survives the attempt to cancel it.
1994 - American health care reform passes. It proves to be such a bureaucratic mess that the subsequent Gingrich Congress easily repeals it for a more market oriented model.

I'm writing a story on this very subject, titled: 'The Encounter Down Under: an alternate version of the 1994 Formula One season'.
In the story, Senna indeed survives his Imola crash, returns for the Monaco Grand Prix, and takes on Schumacher for the '94 Championship.

1991-Clinton gets wacked.
Don't know if it has been done, but I figured a mob-hit on Clinton is going to really make things interesting.

No particular reason.
Well, if we pushed it back to say, 1995, and kept Clinton out of the White House, it could...
If, suppose, he develops a gambling problem while in Arkansas gov't, gets deep into debt, doesn't pay off his loan sharks, threatens to out the mob if they don't back off, local don decides to rub him out...
Wouldn't the murder of an incumbent governor and potential presidential candidate (not to mention US President) by the mob pretty much meet the textbook definition of stupid?
Also, Clinton doesn't strike me as the heavy gambling type. He was too convinced of his own rationality.

April 13, 1990: I am not born, thus in 2023 I am not involved in the talks between Bolivia, Peru, and Chile over renewed disputes over the Antofagasta region. Negotiations break down, leading to a general state of conflict between the three countries, and the idea of Mercosur is set back another 30 years.
Yes, I hope to be that important one day.

1990-Thatcher survives her leadership challange by two votes
1991-Yeltsin has a booze-up the night before the coup. Without him to oppose it, the coup succeeds and the Cold War becomes frostier.
1992-Thatcher voted out, Lab Majority of just 15
1996-A car crash outside the small town of Dunblane ends the life of one Thomas Hamiliton. No horrific Dunblane Massacre of sixteen young children and their teacher. No UK total ban on handguns, at least, not yet. One of these children becomes the future PM of the UK four decades in the future.
1996-Gareth Southgate scores his penalty and the UK go on to win the European Cup 2-1.
1997-The new rulers of the USSR, knowing they are deeply unpopular, restart perestrioka, but not glastnost. The USSR becomes rather like OTL's China, with an ok ecomony but no political freedom whatsoever.
