Sat., Dec. 19, 1998

Ten years ago: President-elect Bush nominated New York Congressman Jack Kemp to be his secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Five years ago: Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and senior PLO officials ended two days of closeddoor talks in Oslo, Norway, in which they sought to break a deadlock over Palestinian self-rule in the occupied territories.

One year ago: A SilkAir Boeing 737-300 plunged from the sky, crashing into an Indonesian river and killing all 104 people on board. In Milwaukee, postal clerk Anthony Deculit killed a co-worker he’d feuded with, wounded a supervisor and injured another worker before taking his own life.
