Here, now, to be perfectly clear, I want to reemphasize the fact that
I have not had sexual relations with that woman.

At the time, we were working with the best intelligence that we had,

“A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning,
and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide
welcome” — (from Emma Lazarus’ sonnet, New Colossus)
