The notion that Harvard students are either “married,” consigned to an endless series of strings-optional hook ups, or unofficial members of True Love Revolution has become so widespread that it’s practically a truism.

Given the stakes, many - including the newspaper El País, which is running a reader poll on the question - are asking why Spain got itself in this position in the first place. "Less than 50% of the pirates caught at sea are actually taken away," says Stephen Askins, a maritime lawyer at Ince and Co., a London-based firm that specializes in international trade. "There's a 'capture and release' policy in a lot of these cases. So it's not clear why, given the circumstances, that the Spanish would have chosen to complicate the situation by extraditing these...
