Remember where you were when Reagan was shot? Jack's and Bobby's assignations are to be broadcast on two nets at the same time:

I think anthropologists would agree that the types of "alpha males" who rise to high positions such as the presidency have extraordinary drives, including hypersexuality. This has been observed by Fossey and others among gorillas: The primary sources of information on the social behavior of gorillas comes from studies of the mountain gorilla by Schaller (1963), and by Dian Fossey (1983) and others at the Karisoke Research Centre in the Virunga Volcanoes (see References link). Groups contain 5-30 individuals with usually a single silverback male who acts as the leader, one or two black-backed subadult males, several adult females, and up to ten juveniles and infants. Groups are very cohesive and generally peaceable. There is little overt dominance among females, but access to the breeding females is the prerogative of the silverback male. Clinton may just be exercising his prerogative as the cross-species equivalent of the silverback male. Perhaps we are expecting too much of men such as Clinton, Livingston, Giuliani, etc. whose behavior, from a evolutionary standpoint at least, could be viewed as "quite traditional."
