...opposition, and classified as uncaring brutes. While Kohl is completely convincing as an ardent and outspoken advocate for his students, the sweeping vilification of his opponents seems heavy-handed at times and not altogether believable. As most will find themselves enthused with Kohl and his honesty, such a flaw is understandable considering the simple and equaniminous approach he uses with his children...
...predicament, I think, consists of his being at once a romantic and tragic character, built with enormous energy and prodigious hungers, and a flaw as certain as a gene. As a romantic he is capable of shocking recklessness. The apparently vindicated Gennifer Flowers spoke last week of an incident in their affair in which Clinton wanted her to do it with him in the bathroom of the Governor's mansion while a party was in full swing and Mrs. Clinton was nearby. If he were merely going for a quickie, it would have been monumentally stupid to imperil an entire...

...very text of the bills to be voted upon. The Watergate comparison is inevitable. But while I consider the actions of the paranoid and plotting Richard Nixon to be evil, I think of Clinton's alleged actions as just plain stupid. He seems to have allowed his large personal flaw to get in the way of his job. Nixon condoned his flunkies' breaking into the office of the Democratic National Committee. And that was just for starters...
