First sentence: In a chapter titled "Closing the Deal (Getting Him to the Altar)," a recent book for husband-hunting single women observes that "getting the man you want to propose and then to turn that proposal into an actual wedding date [is] a feat some women say can be tougher than any corporate transaction" (Frein and Schneider 1997:99).
