...first there were many short circuits. For one thing, people tended to lie about their looks, checked themselves off as attractive when "not exceptionally attractive" would have been a generous judgment. For another, the early computer program told a subscriber who his "ideal mate" was and whose "ideal mate" he was, but the names were seldom the same. One pioneer received a letter from a girl saying that as he was her dream come true on paper, she wanted to meet him in the flesh. When he finally stood face to face with her, he recalls: "I didn...

...generous," Rebekah writes, "he showered his mother with gifts, pebbles and flowers." Like Gautama Buddha or the youthful George Washington, Lyndon Johnson "had a passion for truthfulness." When a relative insisted that "all children tell stories," Mrs. Johnson was "shocked and indignant." "My boy," she declared, "never tells a lie...
