Summary

Few years in recent memory can match the roller-coaster ride that was 2003. War in Iraq tested the mettle of President Bush and catapulted an Army private named Jessica Lynch to hell and back. There was upheaval at home, as well. Arnold Schwarzenegger rose from action hero to political upstart. Then nature got into the act: The new California governor's state was struck by tragic wildfires. On the East Coast, Hurricane Isabel also wreaked mass destruction. The space shuttle Columbia disintegrated. The year wasn't all doom and gloom, of course. The People Yearbook follows the bouncing ball of Ben and J.Lo's romance and the astonishing rescue of Elizabeth Smart, updates the operatic travails of Rosie O'Donnell and Martha Stewart, and ponders the royal pains of Britain's Prince Charles. We also celebrate the Down Under nuptials of Russell Crowe, the birth of David Letterman's son, the comeback of Ellen DeGeneres and the final season (say it ain't so, Joey) of Friends. Plus much, much more. Book jacket.
