Milestones

Ten years ago: Some striking workers in Poland ended a walkout that had begun a week earlier, but 125 miners barricaded themselves in an underground shaft, vowing to stay until they’d won their demands.

Five years ago: Former Detroit police officers Larry Nevers and Walter Budzyn were convicted of second-degree murder in the fatal beating of black motorist Malice Green. Both convictions were later overturned. On retrial, Budzyn was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to time served; Nevers awaits retrial.

One year ago: In his weekly radio address, President Clinton said he would ask Congress to renew his authority for speedy negotiation of trade agreements.
