Romantic comedy starring Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel and Danny
DeVito. Beth Harper (Bell) is a young, career-driven New Yorker who
has hitherto been very unlucky in love. While on a whirlwind trip
to Rome for her sister's wedding, she is attracted to the best man,
Nick (Duhamel), but is dismayed to see him with another woman and
turns to drink to drown her disappointment. In her drunken state
she delves for coins in the famed 'Fontana de Amore', and is amazed
on her return to New York to find herself being pursued by not one
but five love-crazed men - including the delectable Nick. But is he
really in love with her, or simply under the fountain's spell?

"He was my ancient master, my earliest and best friend; and to him
I am indebted for first impressions which have had the most
salutary influence on the course of my life." -Thomas Jefferson on
George Wythe, 1806.
This is the story of George Wythe, a man determined, steadfast and
courageous, described by Benjamin Rush as possessing "dove-like
simplicity and gentleness of manner." From his humble beginnings as
a circuit lawyer in Virginia, Wythe was a prominent opponent of
slavery and was instrumental in the creation of the constitution.
His distinguished career saw him appointed the first professor of
law in the United States.
Wythe witnessed most of the great events leading to America's
independence and formation as a nation and was a signatory to the
Declaration of Independence. And then, in 1806, Wythe was murdered.
This book tells the story of George Wythe's life, his amazing
legacy, his role as second father to the fathers of the nation and
offers a solution to the mystery of his bizarre and tragic death.
