AIDS patient and activist Jeff Getty receives the first ever bone cell transplant from a Baboon, making it the first procedure of its kind. Bosnia was gearing up for a transition to peace, with Washington still haggling over what our troops will be doing over there. Boris Yeltsin, recovering from Heart Attack #2, goes on Russian Radio and Television to persuade the Russian people the Great Leap Back to the Soviet Union days isn't such a good idea. The OJ Simpson saga continued with reports of breakups and phone calls on the night of the murders during the latest deposition for the Civil trial.
