...often the most overhyped oenological event of the year. In 1989, however, the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau -- the early fermented version of France's most popular red bistro wine -- is something to celebrate.

One day, after a speech at a fund raiser in Munster, Ind., Wattleton stretched out her legs in the back of a white limousine cruising along Route 20 toward Chicago. Arredondo reached for Wattleton's note pad and stared at it intently. Arredondo is a family-planning specialist by training, a graphologist by avocation.
