That fall of 2003, gas ran $1.59 a gallon and Bush was in the White House — the U.S. military was deep into the occupation of Iraq, with soldiers patrolling Baghdad block by block amid a grinding insurgency that showed no signs of letting up. On television, Americans were watching "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and reading Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," which sat at the top of the fiction bestseller lists week after week. The Florida Marlins pulled off a World Series upset over the New York Yankees that October, and just days before, China had made history by launching "Shenzhou 5," becoming only the third country ever to send a human being into space under its own power.
