Ten years ago: Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan was virtually drowned out by jeering demonstrators as he addressed the Sixth International AIDS conference in San Francisco. Nelson Mandela arrived in Washington.

Five years ago: In his weekly radio address, President Clinton blamed the failed nomination of Dr. Henry Foster for surgeon general on right-wing extremists who, he said, would “stop at nothing” to outlaw abortion.

One year ago: Union organizers claimed victory after workers at six Fieldcrest Cannon mills in North Carolina voted to be represented by the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees. Testimony wound to an end after 76 days in the landmark Microsoft antitrust trial.
