...then lying about it during a deposition taken in the course of a politically motivated lawsuit, are not grounds for impeachment, much less a $40 million investigation gone awry. The President made a mistake, he suffered a "critical lapse in judgement." But the tawdry details aside, he did not commit an impeachable offense. And he should certainly not be only the second President to resign from office simply because he succumbed to the temptations of the flesh...
...Clinton skipped even his regular church service Sunday (where his transgressions were the subject of the day's sermon), while his attorney David Kendall hit the talk shows to defend his client's indefensible semantic contortion -- that he may have lied under oath about sex, but he didn't commit perjury...
...right to put their toys away. Yes, they know even at seven, unless they have a disability. Seven has traditionally been considered the age of reason, a rough turning point in moral development.

When she learns of his rank love, she is furious; to teach him a lesson she forces upon him the banquet of her sexual favors. Contact shames him; he runs home and slashes his wrists. Visiting his home, she peers through the telescope and sees an eerie vision: herself, as the adoring boy saw her. The image overwhelms...
