      Madison. Oliver walks Barbara to the ferry because he is trying to impress her. He makes a point of saying that he is not rich and is attending Harvard on a scholarship, in a further attempt to impress her.

    What type of college scholarship does Barbara have?Can You Conquer "The War of the Roses"?

      Gymnastics. Barbara mentions that she is not rich either, and is attending college on a gymnastics scholarship.

    What is Barbara’s culinary specialty, which inspires her to start a catering business?Can You Conquer "The War of the Roses"?

      Pate. Barbara receives so many compliments about her liver pate that she decides to start her own catering business. Although she is a marvelous cook, this undertaking is a diversion from her marital situation.
