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.

Not a really good news day if you were fleeing Haiti as President Bush (Sr.) pledged to refuse granting asylum to the onslaught of Boat People heading to Florida. The United Nations proposed sanctions against Serbia in their escalating war in Bosnia. The term Ethnic Cleansing would enter our Lexicon of Horror shortly thereafter. Pro-Democracy demonstrators were arrested enmasse in Thailand after the ouster of Prime Minister Suchinda Kraprayoon in a military junta. One military junta ousts another military junta - a "meet the new boss" analogy lurks around there someplace.The Middle East was a "happening place" once again with bombings in Beirut and the Gaza Strip keeping everyone on their toes. And the 1992 Primary Season was roaring to a close with Bill Clinton looking like the lead with Ross Perot trailing and Gov. Jerry Brown coming in second or third, depending on which poll you read. And to top it all off, there were a number of arrests made at Weedstock, a celebration/rally in favor of legalizing Marijuana which came as no surprise to anybody. Except of course unless you were there - but then, how would you know?

All that and more on this particular May 25th, which happened to me Memorial Day in 1992 via the CBS World News Roundup.
