Clinton took his first step on Wednesday night, Aug. 12, a sort of out-of-town opening for the performances that would follow. He tried out a lawyer's redacted version of a confession, not on Hillary but on a friend whose reviews he could trust. He said the relationship had begun during the 1995 government shutdown; it strayed across the line, and it made him ashamed. What really worried him, now that he had to face the grand jury, was how he would prepare Hillary for the next four days...
...know at least one wife who has been unfaithful. Of those respondents, 62% said they "thought less" of the adulterous husbands, while 56% "thought less" of the adulterous wives.

A study of more than 2,800 senior citizens showed that those abused or neglected were more than three times likelier than their peers to die during a 13-year follow-up period, even adjusting for factors like injury and chronic illness. The findings indicate that mistreatment, researchers say, can be as perilous as many diseases...
