NYT: The Cinema of Sex in U.S. Politics

In his weekly column, "Letters from Washington," Bloomberg News Washington Bureau Chief Albert R. Hunt cites the work of Temple psychologist Frank Farley in trying to explain the causes of sexual misbehavior by so many leading politicians. "Frank Farley, a psychologist at Temple, has a label for this trait, saying many politicos suffer from 'Type-T personalities,' as in 'thrill-seeking.' He notes a common feature of many public and political figures is 'risk-taking' that lends itself to personal carelessness," wrote Hunt.
