Milestones

Tue., May 26, 1998

Ten years ago: The National Hockey League’s Edmonton Oilers completed a four-game sweep of the Boston Bruins to capture their fourth Stanley Cup in five seasons.

Five years ago: In what amounted to a sales pitch for health reform, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton denounced price gougers and profiteers in medicine before an enthusiastic audience of union activists in Washington, D.C.

One year ago: France’s prime minister, Alain Juppe, announced he would resign, a day after the country’s governing center-right coalition suffered major losses in first-round parliamentary elections. President Clinton left for Paris to sign a new agreement between NATO and Russia.
