Bush was sworn in as President of America. Anthrax-laced letters were sent to various U.S. media and government officials. ‘Gladiator’ dominated the Oscars. “The Producers” won numerous Tony Awards. Apple unleashed iTunes. The Leaning Tower of Pisa re-opened. Cinema audiences flocked to enjoy ‘Harry Potter & The Sorcerer’s Stone’, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ and ‘Shrek’.
