"To ask why the President of the United States would have a sexual encounter with a young woman is like asking why someone who worked very hard to earn a large sum of money would then spend it. What distinguishes Bill Clinton is not that he had extramarital affairs while in office -- others have, more will; it would be a Darwinian puzzle if they did not -- what distinguishes him is the fact that he got caught." -- Alan S. Miller Ph.D. and Satoshi Kanazawa Ph.D., "Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature", Psychology Today, Jul/Aug 2007 (Adapted from Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters, by Alan S. Miller and Satoshi Kanazawa, to be published by Perigee in September 2007.)
