I find it hard to believe that he could allow himself to get stuck in an affair with a woman that was most likely overwhelmed by the situation. Here she was 21, from a sheltered background working for the most powerful man in the world. I am sure she was in love with him but in a totally nieve sort of way. I remember my first love. She declared that she was not interested in a relationship after of week of acquaintance without anything sexual ocurring other than a little peck on the cheek. I was 19 and I believed that she didn't really know she was, in fact, in love with me. She ran off with another guy and split town but I was still singing "She'll come running back..". I took me two to three years to accept that it wasn't going to happen and she wasn't even the president!
