...crews get asked--particularly the coed teams--is what they did for sex. The answer? Nothing. The occasional pair of lovebirds was sent up for experiments in animal reproduction, but they usually died before returning.

But the only reason he thinks he can separate the idea of being "unnerved" from a more abstract moral objection is that he is "unnerved...
...angry at Bill and Hillary. I have to admit that my feelings border on ambivalence and apathy. What does it matter now? Those who once used Clinton when he was President are now through with him, and they are eating him alive. While I have no sympathy for the Clintons, I don't care to join the feast.
