At a cocktail party the other night I looked across a crowded room and
was half taken by a stranger, in half profile, a handsome, terribly
young-looking man with a halo of backlighted curls. And then he turned
and I realized that it was the stranger I am married to, the
beneficiary on my insurance policy, the sport jacket, the love of my
life.
