Since the theme of this week seems to be frumpy old politicians' sex lives, we figured this morning's Letter of Note was more than relevant. The site brings us a correspondence from our university's founding father, who shares some scandalous advice on the benefits of keeping an older mistress. Ah, history repeats itself.
