Puritan attitudes still present

Puritan attitudes still present in contemporary America

In 1998, President Clinton, married to Hillary, had an affair with young White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Although he denied it at first, the truth eventually came out, and the nation was scandalized! Clinton was nearly impeached as a result of his extramarital affair.

However, when former French president Jacques Mitterrand was laid to rest, his wife Danielle (far left) attended his funeral alongside his long-term mistress Anne(second from right) and illegitimate daughter (third from right). This would NEVER happen in the United States.

I do.

Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
