The Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR) is an organization that empowers interns, residents, and fellows from all member hospitals to strive for healthcare excellence through organizing, collective bargaining, and advocacy. It is the United State’s largest housestaff union with over 18,000 housestaff. In 1957, interns and residents in New York City’s public hospitals founded CIR. By 1969-70, members in the private sectors began to organize and join CIR.

In 1992, Bill Clinton ran for president against incumbent president George Bush. President Bush faced opposition from within the Republican party due to breaking his pledge to not raise taxes during his first term. Democratic candidate Bill Clinton gained popularity until his campaign was threatened by evidence of a twelve-year marital affair. With both candidates facing problems during their campaigns, the opportunity arose for a third-party candidate to gain momentum. Ross Perot secured almost nineteen percent of the vote, while Bush received about thirty-seven percent of the vote. Bill Clinton won with forty-three percent of the vote, and his presidency ended a twelve-year stint of Republican presidents.

Additional Information

"Musicians against war" likely references the protests held by musicians during the Vietnam War. In the early 1960s, various folk singers used music to spread antiwar messages. Through antiwar rallies and concerts, musicians entertained the audiences in hopes of encouraging support against war. Some of the notable musicians participating in the protests include Phil Ochs, who performed at multiple rallies and concerts throughout the country, including a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall. Although most of the songs are about antiwar, some songs express grief over the death of soldiers, and other songs express pain for those staying at home. The music protests against war helped pave the way for living in a better world and have peace.
