The catastrophe for the White House last week was that all the charges that were manageable when they were separate had suddenly become one scandal, indivisible.

Reluctant to impregnate her, Onan commits coitus interruptus, spilling his seed on the ground. How does God deal with Onan's seminal wastefulness? "And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also...
