...Clinton's straddles, maybe this was his greatest: to be seen as both family man and rogue, feminist sympathizer and Kennedyesque swordsman, the New Democrat and the Old. It surely must have allayed fears that he was going to let Hillary run everything. As Grover Cleveland, the old goat, is reported to have said when confronted with a sex scandal of his own, "I don't believe the American people want a gelding in the White House...
