February had 28 days, starting on a Monday. saw the arrest of a 12-year-old boy named James Bulger in England, a tragedy that would haunt the decade. On a lighter note, February 26 saw the first World Trade Center bombing (a van bomb), an early herald of a new kind of threat.
November started on a Monday. This month is a calendar of strange contrasts.
