ROBERT P. WATSON

Watson has studied the effects on politicians and policies of various lovers and spouses. He was not referring to the scandal aspect of the liaisons or the scandal interest, but he argues that often these lovers will have more policy influences on officials greater than that if their staffs or cabinet. However, most historians do not follow this line of study and until recently it was not even savory to do so.
