...think I may do something more along the lines of what two friends of mine did. They gave each other engagement backpacks to use on their extended honeymoon.

During Chief Justice Roberts' honeymoon term, about half the court's decisions were unanimous--nearly double the typical tally in recent years.

(The Jil Sander company was sold earlier this year to the British-based investment fund Change Capital Partners...
...When President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office last summer, everyone nervously watched to see whether Islamic dogma would shape domestic policy. To much delight, nothing changed: Western films were sold everywhere, women wore skimpy veils, and couples held hands in the street. But the long, libertine honeymoon is over. The hard line now seems to begin at home for the Ahmadinejad regime (which last week inaugurated a new reactor project, defying a U.N. demand to end its uranium-enrichment work by Aug. 31, and gave only a tepid response to the West's offer of incentives). Over the past few months...
