December 31, 1992
By the winter of 1992, Bush was in the White House and the federal minimum wage stood at $4.25/hr — and the U.S. was actively considering cuts to its multiple-warhead missile arsenal as Cold War-era nuclear policy came under fresh review in Washington. On the cultural front, Michael Jackson's "Black Or White" was dominating radio while John Grisham's "The Pelican Brief" sat at the top of the fiction bestseller lists. In sports, the Pittsburgh Penguins had defended their NHL championship by defeating the Chicago Blackhawks, and American athletes brought home 11 medals — including 5 gold — from the Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.
