Last week Turkish archaeologists released this picture of recently
uncovered skeletons locked in an eternal embrace. The scientists
described the find as the oldest known embracing couple, which I am in
no position to dispute. The couple is believed to have been part of an
ancient culture that once lived in Iraq. The cause of their deaths is
not known. On scale of one to ten, how romantic is this? I give it an eight. I give the Robert Doisneau picture a seven.--David Schonauer
