Milestones

Ten years ago: A jury in New York acquitted Bernhard Goetz of attempted murder in the subway shooting of four young blacks he said were going to rob him; however, Goetz was convicted of illegal weapons possession. (In 1996, a civil jury ordered Goetz to pay $43 million to one of the persons he’d shot.)

Five years ago: President Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin capped the first day of their Washington summit by announcing their countries had agreed to slash their long-range nuclear arsenals by two-thirds.

One year ago: The Chicago Bulls won the NBA championship, beating the Seattle SuperSonics in Game Six, 87-75. Sportscaster Mel Allen died in Greenwich, Conn., at age 83.
