Still, it's likely that Rania, a strikingly beautiful Palestinian, will capture the nation's hearts. Intelligent and family-oriented, Rania took child-psychology courses in school and was an honors student in business administration at the American University in Cairo. She had two children in their first three years of marriage but is hardly a submissive wife. She likes to hang...
