For all intents and purposes, just a typical June day - only it's 1984.

President Reagan arrived in London on this day, as the 10th Economic Summit got started. A full slate of issues greeted the participants.

A Liberian Grain ship hit a mine in the Persian Gulf, escalating tensions in the already war-torn region. Fighting in the Iran-Iraq War was grinding along with casualties mounting by the hour.

Fighting between Sikhs and the Indian Army escalated with the Army storming the Golden Temple in the Punjab region, resulting in the deaths of 300 Sikhs as well as their leader. The battle touched off Sikh riots in New Delhi with a reported 30 dead at the time of this news report.

A joint Military exercise between the U.S. and El Salvador enraged the government of Nicaragua, who claimed it was ruse in order to stage a full-on invasion of that country. Protests were lodged.

A sailboat bound from Haiti to the U.S. capsized off the Florida coast with a reported 6 drowned and some 61 rescued. The suspicion was the sailboat was crammed with refugees seeking asylum in the U.S.

The Presidential Primaries held on Tuesday yielded sufficient delegates for Walter Mondale to secure the Democratic nomination for the November election.

Flash floods were raging around Vermont.

And it was reported that Acid Rain was more widespread than previously thought.

All this and a lot more on this June 7, 1984 as reported on The CBS World News Roundup and the 9:00 am (PDT) Network news.

With a Guilty verdict for Voluntary Manslaughter, rather than the hoped for Guilty of Murder, convicted killer of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, Dan White, triggered a night of violence that saw scores of arrests and some 60 Policeman injured as San Francisco's Gay community vented its outrage at what was considered almost an acquittal. The fallout from the verdicts and the damage done, primarily to relations between the City and the Gay Community, would have long term and lasting affects.

Another set of protests went on in the wake of executions of convicted killers John Spenkelink and Willie Darden in Florida - the first to be held in that state since 1964. At the time of this broadcast, appeals were still pending.

Also pending was the outcome of elections in Canada which, according to polls, was a neck-and-neck race between incumbent Pierre Elliot Trudeau and challenger Joe Clark.

Secretary of State Vance went on a meet-and-greet with members of newly elected Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government while on a visit to London.

On Capitol Hill - Ethics hearings were continuing for Herman Talmadge and a Grand Jury were meeting to determine what would happen next in the brewing scandal of Bert Lance.

And California may become the first state to relax it's odd-even Gas rationing since it was being better-than-good about reduced driving and consumption, resulting in more plentiful gas supplies. Like the oil companies really cared.

And so went this particular May 22 in 1979 - an Even Day, if you were sitting at a gas station on Empty. All reported on The CBS World News Roundup.

News on this May 9th in 1978 was all about the kidnapping and death, after a 55 day hostage situation, of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro at the hands of members of the terrorist group Red Brigade.

When word got out that the body, found in the trunk of a car parked near the center of Rome, was that of Moro's, a wave of shock spread throughout Italy, quickly replaced by outrage that the government was unwilling, or unable, to deal with a hostage crisis that allowed Moro to be assassinated. The government's response was an attempt at justification, that it would no longer give in to demands of terrorist organizations. That Italy was no longer willing to be considered "soft" when it came to acts such as these. But that didn't stop the anger from being echoed throughout the world.

And the Moro tragedy was being considered on Capitol Hill as the FBI was calling for stepped up measures in dealing with Terrorism, particularly the threat of terrorism within the U.S. Clearly, the kidnapping and death of Aldo Moro was having a marked effect on terrorist policies in many countries.

The other big news story of this day happened off the coast of Florida, where news of a dramatic rescue of passengers of National Airlines Flight 193 by a fishing boat was credited for saving the lives of all but 3 passengers.

So there was bad news and there was good news for this May 9, 1978 as reported by Douglas Edwards and The World Tonight from CBS Radio.

Just like every day on Planet Earth.

If you discount the 4 inches of snow that fell overnight in Tennessee and the 7 inches overnight in Arkansas, the ruined citrus crops in Florida and another blizzard heading for the East Coast, it was probably a relatively quiet day.

The UAW was in contract talks with Auto makers. A summit conference was called between France and Germany to study the situation in Poland with the Solidarity Movement and strikes sweeping that country.

Gen. Alexander Haig and Hosni Mubarak were in talks regarding Palestinian autonomy.

In California, a boycott of Japanese goods was called by the state's Farmers in retaliation for the ban on California produce exports to Japan because of the Medfly controversy.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's son Mark was the object of a search, as he turned up missing from a road rally from Paris to Dakar. Maggie said not to worry, "he's a big boy".

And the White House couldn't get straight who Norman Mineta was - some claimed the Congressman from California was of Italian descent and others claimed he was Japanese. The guessing game continued - though no one thought to ask Mineta himself.

Just one of those days via CBS News Hourlies from 3,4 and 5:00 am (PST) on January 13, 1982

October 4, 1973 was loaded with news about the Watergate Scandal. News about the break-in continued to unfold, and as more news unfolded more revelations came to the surface. On this particular October 4th it was the revelation that the Florida Attorney General uncovered evidence the Republicans had installed bugging devices at the Democratic National Headquarters during the 1972 Convention in Miami and that the buggings took place a month after the Watergate burglars were caught. Watergate Co-conspirator James McCord vehemently denied having anything to do with it - but evidence was piling up to prove otherwise.

Also going on this day (as if anyone was noticing), Lt. William Calley made yet another appeal to overturn his conviction in the My Lai Massacre case.

A very busy day via NBC Nightly News with John Chancellor and David Brinkley.

And people were getting nervous.
