A federal judge in New Haven, Connecticut, orders the Olin-Winchester Corporation to give $510,000 to local charities as "reparations" for the firm's illegal arms deliveries to South Africa. A week earlier, Olin had pleaded no contest to a 21-count indictment for conspiring to ship 3,200 firearms and 20,000,000 rounds of ammunition to South Africa in violation of the U.N. embargo on arms sales to that country.
