...base. It was at the end of her first year as an associate at the law firm that she had been assigned to mentor Obama. In a now famous story, she at first refused to date him, feeling their work relationship would make a romance improper. But Obama's courtship helped her discover anew her childhood home on Chicago's Southside. Dates often took them to church basements and protests. "He could've gone to Wall Street; those offers were available to him. But instead Barack bussed these young mothers down to City Hall to help them find their voice...
...learned a lot. It turns out that in love, everybody's the same, but different. For instance, Meetic's advertising theme, "The rules of the game have changed," worked brilliantly in France, but bombed in Italy, where courtship rituals remain more traditional. Speak to an Italian man about women making the first move, says Simoncini, and he "doesn't even understand what you're talking about...

But these pro-life Catholics are actually split into two voting camps...
...wedding on Dec. 20 at St. Paul Catholic Church and in the Dunster dining hall. The wedding procession down DeWolfe Street will be a familiar one. Vittori, an economics concentrator in Dunster, and Hetrick, an anthropology and chemistry concentrator in Mather, ate most of their meals during their undergraduate courtship in the dark wood dining hall where their reception will be held. Hetrick converted to Catholicism at St. Paul’s, and Vittori, a member of the Harvard-Radcliffe Catholic Student Association, was active in the church. They will have a traditional, Christmas-themed wedding, though Vittori?...
