You *so* did not want to commit perjury in ancient Rome.
I've been watching St. Elsewhere reruns on the American Life Network (they're running that, L.A. Law and Hill Street Blues on most weeknights in order), and I recently saw the episode where Peter White was shot. You may remember (or not) that he was the Ski Mask Rapist, and that Shirley Daniels murdered him in retaliation for his assaults on Cathy Martin. Anyway, she shot him first in the groin and then in the chest. While he was still on the operating table, one of the surgeons mentioned they'd done a bilateral orchiectomy (a condign result for a serial rapist, though the staff didn't know it at the time). It was something I'd missed when I first saw the episode in the '80s. It wasn't referred to again, probaly because White died later in the episode, but it just one of the many little things the writers would slip into scripts.
