...your "intelligent" syllogism supporting Dr. Kinsey's contention that anything which a lot of people or animals do is normal. I'd like to offer another which makes just about as much sense: 1) Man is an animal; 2) some animals when angered by an enemy will bite that enemy; 3) since animals are natural, this action is natural and it is perfectly normal for human beings to go about biting their enemies.

...match with a man who is not only a commoner but 38, divorced and the father of two children? British newshens clucked and asked if that was why the Princess looked so sad and wan in her latest pictures from Africa. From Rhodesia came another explanation: the bite of Rhodesia's cold wave. Queen Mother Elizabeth and Margaret stepped off their Comet in light summer dresses, have been shivering and forcing smiles ever since.
