About women who kept their maiden names upon marriage: Two friends of mine here at MIT got married over Christmas break, and they are now officially Mr. James Shearer and Mrs. Lori Bechtold. They are both graduating this next term. As an additional bit of interest, Jim's mother is a doctor (MD style), and also kept her maiden name (and is quite vehement about throwing away mail not addressed to Dr. * * (sorry, I don't remember her name)).
