December 3, 1994
By the winter of 1994, Clinton was in the White House and the federal minimum wage stood at $4.25/hr — the country was managing an ongoing military budget debate, with the Clinton administration pushing for increased defense spending even as the Cold War had recently ended. On the cultural front, Robin Williams was drawing crowds to "Mrs. Doubtfire" at the box office while "Frasier" was earning Emmy recognition as the top comedy on television. That winter, the Houston Rockets claimed the NBA championship over the New York Knicks, and American athletes brought home 13 medals — including 6 gold — from the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.
