September 5, 1993
That fall of 1993, gas ran $1.11 a gallon and Clinton was in the White House — the Oslo Accords had just brokered a historic handshake between Israel and the PLO, raising cautious hopes for peace in the Middle East. On television, "Frasier" was pulling in Emmy wins in its debut season, while Robert James Waller's "The Bridges of Madison County" sat atop the fiction bestseller list for months on end. The Toronto Blue Jays clinched their second straight World Series title by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games, and that same fall, the International Olympic Committee awarded the year 2000 Summer Games to Sydney, Australia, setting the stage for what would become one of the most celebrated Olympics in modern history.
