...Beltway players and whoever else is obsessed with this mess. Speaking on behalf of outside-the-Beltway persons: We didn't need to know about the President's sex life, we didn't want to know about the President's sex life, and the President's sex life is none of our damn business.

...None of them were right, but Currie felt "the President wanted her to agree with them," the report says. Starr charges that Clinton, worried Currie might be called for a deposition, was engaging in witness tampering. Clinton lawyer David Kendall rejects the charge, arguing that Currie was not a witness in any proceeding at the time (she was never called in the Jones matter).

Medieval Germans preferred to put a hammer under the bed to produce a boy, while their Danish cousins placed scissors there to make a girl. None of it worked, of course, and despite impressive advances in other aspects of reproductive science, modern medicine hasn't managed to do much better...
