Swimmers, poets among 2010 Rhodes Scholars from US
The Associated Press

The couple, both seniors at the University of North Carolina, had done their final scholarship interviews apart - he in Philadelphia, she in Houston. Spelman heard the results first. When he called with his good news, "the stakes just went way up," said his girlfriend, Libby Longino, who had to wait 45 minutes before finding out that she, too, had nabbed one of the world's most prestigious scholarships.
