Ten years ago: With the end of the 1988 campaign in sight, Michael Dukakis vowed to work for those living on “the family budget, not the family fortune” while George Bush pledged not to be “outhustled by the liberal governor from Massachusetts.”

Five years ago: Talks on restoring ousted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power collapsed when military representatives failed to attend.

One year ago: The House overwhelmingly approved a bill calling for the most far-reaching changes at the Internal Revenue Service in 45 years.
