The Year Was 1993–In the news, President Bill Clinton took the oath of office, conflict at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, and tennis great Arthur Ashe died from complications of AIDS…on the pop charts, Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You,” “Whoop–There It Is” from Tag Team, UB40’s remake of “Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” and “I’d Do Anything for Love” by Meat Loaf…television shows premiering included “Frasier,” The Nanny” and “Beavis and Butt-head”…and moviegoers saw “Schindler’s List,” “Philadelphia” and “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” (based on the book by Iowa native Peter Hedges).
