He describes the conversations which go on in his room as "just basically, surprisingly crude. In class, I think that people see me as a polite, serious guy. Around my roommates, I deteriorate." He speculates that "whoever it is [on the other side of that door,] they see a side of me that the rest of the world does not. My roommates do, but that...

If Clarence Thomas had laid Coke cans end to end, each with a pubic hair on top, sufficient to encircle the Capitol, his behavior would not have been as offensive as the Governor of Arkansas inviting a state employee to his room, dropping his trousers and asking her to kiss it. And if Kathleen Willey is to be believed, then the classic Hollywood casting couch has been moved into the Oval Office--and if that is not a sexual quid pro quo, what...
