...indolent son of another highly successful retired courtesan (Kathy Bates) because she enjoys his youth and beauty (with his cheekbones and Cupid's bow of red lips, he looks as though he could be her in men's clothing). She tells her masseuse that she can't complain about Chéri's character, because she's not sure he has one. Nonetheless, they end up in a sort of grudging kind of love...
...like South Carolina state senator Hugh Leatherman, a Republican, say it's Sanford's professional infidelity that stands to short-circuit his national political ambitions. "People will forgive private sins," says Leatherman, "but not a governor lying to them like this. This is an issue of governance.

So far, the Athletic Department has resisted the urge to get rid of varsity programs like its counterpart over...
