Since we have hit 1997 levels in some of the indexes, a little redux of headlines from 1997, from The Big Picture>

Hey, its 1997!

Here are a few notable things that happened this year:

Hong Kong returns to Chinese rule;
O. J. Simpson found liable in civil suit;
Nobel Prize for Economics is won by Long Term Capital Management stars Robert Merton and Myron Scholes.
Titanic hits theaters — other notable flix include The Full Monty, Good Will Hunting, and L.A. Confidential;
Ellen DeGeneres outs herself;
Eric Clapton wins a Grammy for Change the World
Skynet launched a nuclear attack on mankind;
J. K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter is published in the U.K.
Princess Diana, Jacques Cousteau, John Denver, Mother Theresa, and James Stewart all die.

Oh, and the Dow Jones Industrials hit 7,100.
