Thu., July 23, 1998

Ten years ago: In his weekly radio address, President Reagan responded to the just-completed Democratic national convention by accusing Democrats of “singing the same sad song they sang four years ago.”

Five years ago: White House deputy counsel Vincent W. Foster Jr. was buried near Hope, Ark., three days after taking his own life in a Virginia park. Surgeon General-designate Joycelyn Elders stuck by her firm stands on sex education and AIDS prevention in a one-day confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill.

One year ago: The search for Andrew Cunanan, the suspected killer of designer Gianni Versace and others, ended as police found his body on a houseboat in Miami Beach, Fla., an apparent suicide.
