Milestones

Thu., May 28, 1998

Ten years ago: On the eve of the Moscow summit, Soviet television aired a 34-minute interview with President Reagan in which he pledged to make human rights “agenda item number one.”

Five years ago: A jury in Orlando, Fla., acquitted Miami police officer William Lozano of manslaughter in the 1989 shooting death of a black motorcyclist and the resulting crash-caused death of the cyclist’s passenger. Lozano had been convicted in an earlier trial, but that verdict was overturned.

One year ago: President Clinton paid tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Marshall Plan with a speech in the Netherlands in which he urged today’s leaders to revive economies in the former Soviet bloc.
