Spotlight

A FINAL TOAST TO 1999: It was a year of epic battles: Slobodan Milosevic vs. NATO; Harry Potter vs. Pikachu; Hillary Rodham Clinton vs. Rudy Giuliani; Austin Powers vs. sequel fatigue; Lance Armstrong vs. cancer; the big studios vs. the Blair Witch; the U.S. women's soccer team against China's co-finalists; Serena Williams vs. sister Venus; Tiger Woods vs. any and all challengers; ABC TV's popular millionaire-maker Regis Philbin vs. the envious other U.S. networks; Ricky Martin vs. salsa overload; irreverent comic Chris Rock vs. pretty much everyone.
