Author, 'Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush ". At his getting-to-know-you lunch with author Robert Draper, the president declined to gaze into his own navel.

Author, "Men – The Gods of Love". Re: Are We Becoming Accepting Of Infidelity. Able to discuss this and more is Dr. David Eigen, a noted psychologist and author of Men - The Gods of Love. Dr. Eigen argues that infidelity is becoming more accepted by both sexes and more common. Last week it was New York Governor Eliot Spitzer who was caught with prostitutes. This week newly inaugurated New York Governor Patterson and his wife have admitted to extramarital affairs. This comes upon revelations that former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey and his wife engaged in threesomes. Yet the public reaction has been almost non responsive. Why is this? Are we becoming more use to infidelity? Is it no longer seen as a major wrong? Are we saying that we accept infidelity as a society?
