Ten years ago: After years of conflict, pro-Western North Yemen and pro-Soviet South Yemen merged to form a single nation, the Republic of Yemen. Boxer Rocky Graziano died in New York at age 71.

Five years ago: The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that states cannot limit service in Congress without amending the Constitution. “The CBS Evening News” resumed a single-anchor format with Dan Rather, after Connie Chung was dropped from the broadcast.

One year ago: Columbine High School seniors wearing blue-and-silver gowns marched single file in a graduation ceremony that mixed celebration of the day with sorrow for victims of the recent massacre.
