(August 18, 1995 - the OJ Simpson circus was still in town, bloody gloves and all)


If today seemed rather dull to you, consider August 18th in 1995 and this CBS World News Roundup from that day. Whitewater was still bubbling along, the OJ Simpson trial was getting ready to listen to the infamous Mark Fuhrman N-word laced tapes. The Serbs and Croatians were still at it. The first female cadet at the Citadel was still making news and there was saber rattling in the direction of Iraq.

And Hurricane Felix was downgraded to a tropical storm.

Rather busy day, fifteen years ago - and maybe you forgot.
