Charles Fox's music score, featuring flutes, harp and flugelhorn set to a contemporary pop beat, provided the "love" ambiance, which tied the stories together as a multifaceted romantic comedy each week. For the first season, the theme song was performed by the Cowsills. Beginning with the second season, the same theme song was sung by the Ron Hicklin Singers, also known as the voices behind the Partridge Family (based on the Cowsills), among others, featuring brothers John and Tom Bahler (billed as the Charles Fox Singers). This second version of the theme was kept for the remainder of the series, as well as on most episodes prepared for syndication.
The meaning and purpose of marriage, and the manner in which spouses are selected, varies across cultures. Although many cultures have a tradition of arranged marriage, researchers interested in marital dynamics generally have focused on love-based marriages. Consequently, there is little information on relational outcomes within arranged marriages. This study compared relationship outcomes in love-based and arranged marriages contracted in the U.S. A community sample of 58 Indian participants living in the U.S. (28 arranged marriages, 30 love-based marriages) completed measures of marital satisfaction, commitment, companionate love, and passionate love. Men reported greater amounts of commitment, passionate love, and companionate love than women. Unexpectedly, no differences were found between participants in arranged and love-based marriages; high ratings of love, satisfaction, and commitment were observed in both marriage types. The overall affective experiences of partners in arranged and love marriages appear to be similar, at least among Indian adults living in contemporary U.S. society.
Hard as it is to believe, during the early twentieth century, a whole school of mental health professionals decided that unconditional love was a terrible thing to give a child. The government printed pamphlets warning mothers against the dangers of holding their kids. The head of the American Psychological Association and even a mothers' organization endorsed the position that mothers were dangerous - until psychologist Harry Harlow set out to prove them wrong, with a series of experiments with monkeys. Ira talks with Deborah Blum, author of "Love at Goon Park," a biography of Harlow. (10 minutes)

Ryan Murphy knows the perfect recipe for a successful series. For instance, Glee, Pose, American Horror Story (since 2011), American Crime Story (since 2016), and American Horror Stories, recently made this year and is available now on Hulu. So you can imagine how excited his fans must have been when he announced that he is preparing not one, but two new series for FX, which are American Sports Story, whose first part will be centered on Aaron Hernandez, American soccer star turned murderer, and American Love Story, dedicated to the love story of John Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
Flashback: One morning in New York back in the 1990s, Carolyn Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr. bump into each other while jogging in Central Park. It was love at first sight. She was head of public relations for Calvin Klein, celebrated then for its minimalist take on fashion; and he was the heir of the deceased American president and son of Jackie Kennedy, he dated the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Madonna. She was nicknamed "The Look" at Calvin Klein thanks to her self-confidence and a sharp sense of style that immediately seduced the most coveted bachelor in New York. The couple got married in secret on Cumberland Island. Although they seemed to be the perfect couple, Carolyn could not stand the pressure of the media, who followed her ruthlessly and speculated about her cocaine habit.
My background is in both science and writing, which makes me curious to learn how things work and eager to tell you about it. Austin, Texas, is home base for me, and I enjoy its music, walking trails, and dog-friendly patios. My idea of a healthy lifestyle is dancing enough to balance my love of food and drink.
I have been to american two times and I have seen more pickups in the time I have been on vacation in america than I have seen my entire life here in Norway. Over here the pickup truck is used like an utility vehicle and not as a family car. What use of the pickup truck has the american family that the european family doesn't have. I do not have anything against pickup trucks, I'm just wondering. Sorry for any bad cases of english :)
Call me a cynic or a dried-out old historian, but I don't usually expect to find romance amongst my collections. Old uniforms, firearms, and insignia aren't fertile ground for stories of first loves and engagements. Then I came across some objects on the history of Japanese Americans during WWII. They were a set of lovingly hand-crafted pins and were clearly made for someone's sweetheart. My curiosity got the better of me and I had to find out more. Who made them? Who were they for? Did the pressures of living in the camps bring them together or push them apart?
Paul had been assigned a job at May's hospital. When he first saw May at the receptionist desk, he felt an electric shock. He thought she had the most beautiful eyes. It was love at first sight, except May wasn't interested. He seemed older and she'd heard of him and his reputation of turning ladies' heads. With her mother gone, she had a family to take care of. She was going to make it through this difficult time and dating wasn't in the picture. Then Paul started to show up at the same events as May. He struck up a relationship with May's father. He was seen less and less around other women.
Was this a storybook romance with a Hollywood ending? Perhaps not, but it does show that, even in the midst of being unjustly imprisoned by your own government in squalor and misery far away from home, love could persevere, overcoming sadness and turmoil.
Paul and May Ishimoto went on to lead rich and fulfilling lives. Paul went from being a prisoner to a member of the wartime spy agency, the Office of Strategic Services. This led to a career in the federal government. May had an incredible career in costume design for American Ballet Theatre, and travelled the world, earning success and accolades. She and Paul had four children of their own and were loving parents. But in the end it was the decision in Jerome that changed it all, when May said "Yes," thanks to Paul's love, a particular skill at wood carvings, and a bit of melodrama.
The country in which I am writing these words is France, which is not my country but which colonized Vietnam, where I was born, for two-thirds of a century. French rule ended only 17 years before my birth. My parents and their parents never knew anything but French colonialism. Perhaps because of this history, part of me loves France, a love that is due, in some measure, to having been mentally colonized by France.
I made such criticisms not because I hated all the countries that I have known but because I love them. My love for my countries is difficult because their histories, like those of all countries, are complicated. Every country believes in its own best self and from these visions has built beautiful cultures, France included. And yet every country is also soiled in the blood of conquest and violence, Vietnam included. If we love our countries, we owe it to them not just to flatter them but to tell the truth about them in all their beauty and their brutality, America included.
Most Americans will not feel what I feel when they hear the Vietnamese language, but they feel the love of country in their own ways. Perhaps they feel that deep, emotional love when they see the flag or hear the national anthem. I admit that those symbols mean little to me, because they divide as much as unify. Too many people, from the highest office in the land down, have used those symbols to essentially tell all Americans to love it or leave it.
Being immune to the flag and the anthem does not make me less American than those who love those symbols. Is it not more important that I love the substance behind those symbols rather than the symbols themselves? The principles. Democracy, equality, justice, hope, peace and especially freedom, the freedom to write and to think whatever I want, even if my freedoms and the beauty of those principles have all been nurtured by the blood of genocide, slavery, conquest, colonization, imperial war, forever war. All of that is America, our beautiful and brutal America.
- I aim to raise kids as an equal 50-50 partnership. This is a big one and I don't want to make this seem obvious -- the idea below was born after a long time of growing arguments and anger and resentment, which neither of us are eager to remember. Moving on though, we now happily tell our method to all parents.The basic idea is simple. We play zone-defense during the week: only one parent has childcare at a time. I do five days morning drop off (7-9am) and two days evening pickup (6-10pm), my husband does three days evening pickup and no drop offs. When you are on kid duty, all responsibilities are yours (feeding, bathing, where did the gloves go, yes I understand you want to cry inconsolably right now for no reason). But all rules are yours too; the other parent has to stay clear out of it and no comments allowed. When you are off kid duty, you can schedule the time as you please, stay late at work or take a tennis class or go drinking with buddies. No questions asked.I mostly work those days or schedule work-related social events on those evenings. This tag-team parenting also means we don't all get together as a family during the week usually. So we decided: no job related work on the weekends. No reading or writing email, no reading grants and papers, no preparing lectures, no conference calls. The weekend is either for getting organized at home or just spending time together. We also carved out a chunk of our budget to get household help 3 times a week, to create more time for us on the weekends to be together as a family. Finally, if you want to break the rules, then you have to trade: for every evening I cover for him, he has to cover an evening that week for me. For every weekend I travel, I have to give him a weekend day off. No free lunch.
