Analisa,* a writer in Rhode Island, has just embarked on an intercontinental coupling with a Parisian illustrator who responded to her profile on an online personals site. "He said he found the French dating sites very depressing, so he was poking around the Anglo sites and saw me," she says. "He said he could tell from what I'd written in my ad that I was a good person, so he sent an e-mail on a whim...

I regarded the statement as a little overdramatic until I saw how the international community reacted when Obama was elected. I now look back on that night in France and on the night of Nov. 4 and realize that this country has demonstrated to itself and to the rest of the world that it has taken another step toward fulfilling its great potential...
