Similar style line: If a sperm with an X chromosome arrived before the sperm with a Y chromosome arrived, my name wouldn't be Thomas but would be something else. Watergate occurred because Nixon's lack of character resulted in it. The best way to define Nixon's "character" came from himself in the Frost interview: "Well, when the President does it that means that it is not illegal." -- Remove blown from email address to reply.
