Milestones

Sat., June 10, 2000

Ten years ago: Alberto Fujimori was elected president of Peru by a narrow margin over novelist Mario Vargos Llosa. Two members of the rap group 2 Live Crew were arrested in Hollywood, Fla. (They and a third band member were later acquitted of obscenity charges.)

Five years ago: U.S. Air Force Capt. Scott O’Grady, rescued after being shot down over Bosnia, described his six-day ordeal at a news conference at Aviano Air Base in Italy, saying he was no Rambo and no hero.

One year ago: Yugoslav troops departed Kosovo, prompting NATO to suspend its punishing 78-day air war. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the city of Chicago went too far in its fight against street gangs by ordering police to break up groups of loiterers.
