Beyond the President's personal political fortunes, the present mess may spawn some truly significant legacies. The post-cold war U.N., ripe for realizing its lofty aims -- the maintenance of peace and respect for international law -- has passed an important test, and could become the useful forum for conflict resolution it was intended to be. In the Arab world, new alliances will probably emerge. Whether they are pro- or anti-Western, less or more hostile toward Israel, they will surely be different.

The problem with the casual sex so fashionable in films is not that it arouses lust but that it deadens feelings and annihilates privacy. The danger is not that sexual exploitation will create sex fiends but that it may spawn eunuchs. People who have the habit of seeing everything and doing anything run the risk of feeling nothing...
