No, the president is NEVER above the law. If there is doubt about that, the United States of America already ceases to exist.

What does the Bible say on this subject? It says, 'Seek and ye shall find.' Besides, when I look around me at the men; I feel that God never meant us women to be too particular." Marie Jenney Howe, 1913

1/2 "What ought. women to do with their lives? Each one ought to be devoting herself to the comfort of some man. You may say, they are not married. But I answer, let them try a littler harder and they might find some kind of a man to devote themselves to. .

Male office humor from the 1960s? Not funny. Just leaves me shaking my head. Found inside a WWII book published in 1969.

While simultaneously moving and cataloging my book collection, I found this gem in the 1969 Furnas text . you just never know what you'll find when you open the pages of a real book! And still a good question . "are we civilized"?
