...this irritates Monica's husband Seiku. "It is much ado about nothing," he says. "My wife was cured by the doctors and not by any miracle." He is peeved at his wife's fame, in part because the press is constantly at his doorstep. "I want to stop this jamboree, people coming with cameras every few hours or so." He concedes that the locket is part of the story of Monica's ordeal but says no one should suppose there was a cause-and-effect relationship between it and the cure.

Above all, Dulaine shows them what it means to be kind. Scientist Ronnen Levinson, author of a social-dancing handbook, Much Ado About Ballroom Dancing (see website www.outdancing.com) says this is one of the aspects of ballroom that is so special: "When you are dancing socially, you are nice to your partner all the time." In some dance schools, students also learn telephone, dating and interviewing skills, as well as basic manners. There...
