My comment: I can not help but recall Ms. Jennifer Harbury, a Harvard Lw School graduate, and her deceased finance, Guatemalan guerrilla Efrain Bamaca
Velasquez, also known as Commandante Everardo. See
(i) Guatemala Human Rights Commission
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala_Human_Rights_Commission
(ii) Tim Weiner, In Furor Over Killings, President Warns of Shake-Up in the
C.I.A. New York Times, Mar. 25, 1995.

Note:
(a) The surname Harms is derived from Herman.
(b) Harbury
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbury
(a village in Stratford-on-Avon, which appeared as Harberbury on the 1637
Christopher Saxton map of Warwickshire)
(c) The surname Weiner is German form of Wagner, whose job is associated
with a "wagon."
Well, she may not look beautiful (and I thought so upon seeing the
photograph of the couple). However, remember this is only one photo. One can
not judge a book by its cover.
Moreover, , some others for intelligence, still others for a prestigious
college, and there are those for money.
Regarding the first proposition, that some people marry for beauty. I though
Ms. Jennifer Harbury and her finance (apparently she married him after his
death, see my reference in Wikipedia) were winsome. Sort of 半老徐娘, 風味猶
存. See

Times, Mar. 19, 2002.

This report carried an Associated Press photo in print (but not online, for
New York Times did not have that--photographs or multimedia--at the time).
Yes, my memory is photographic.

Incidentally, she lost the case 9 to 0 in Christopher, Former Secretary of
State v. Harbury, 536 U.S. 403 (2002).
