Ten years ago: A Palestinian stabbed three Israelis to death during a rampage in a Jerusalem neighborhood in retaliation for the police killings of 17 Arabs on the Temple Mount.

Five years ago: Rioting inmates surrendered control of a prison dormitory in Greenville, Ill., ending a one-day uprising that began after the government ordered federal prisons locked down nationwide. The Atlanta Braves won game one of the World Series, defeating the visiting Cleveland Indians 3-2. Maxene Andrews of the Andrews Sisters died in Hyannis, Mass., at age 79.

One year ago: France’s highest court upheld the conviction of Maurice Papon, the former Vichy official who had fled France rather than face prison for his role in sending Jews to Nazi death camps; Papon was captured in Switzerland and deported the following day.
