Five years ago: In his weekly radio address, President Clinton said enacting comprehensive anti-crime legislation was the first priority for 1994.
One year ago: A day after saying it would open its presidential palaces to international observers, Iraq declared that U.N. weapons monitors were not included in the invitation.
