1) Princess Diana and Mother Teresa were still alive.
2) President Bill Clinton is re-elected over Bob "Boring" Dole.
3) Java is first released.
4) The Dallas Cowboys win their 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years, becoming the first team to do that. Yeah, remember when they were "America's team"?
5) Michael Jordan's father is killed.
6) The Bulls set an NBA record for most wins in a season (hitting 70 on April 16).
7) The computer game Quake I is released.
8) Martina Hingis becomes the youngest person in history to win at Wimbledon (she was 15).
