Week In Review - June 2, 2012

In politics this week, a jury took it easy on ex-Senator John Edwards in his campaign finance fraud trial, and former President Bill Clinton was accused by the left-wing of being soft on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sounded sharp and serious about the horrific killings in Syria, but so far, there’s only tough talk from the White House.

Marriage equality for same-sex couples was back in the news, as a decision from a federal appeals court put the Defense of Marriage Act on its deathbed.

We shared some fun pictures, including French Open actions shots of Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and others, and we linked this week's Reuters News most unique and compelling images from around the globe.

So You Think You Can Dance kicked off its 2012 season with a terrifically moving and powerful dance audition that left audience members and judges weeping. Lastly, in the sure to make you weep-and-smile category, we witnessed the sweetest (and most complexly choreographed) marriage proposal ever.

As always, thanks for reading.
