There is a line [somewhere] between keeping secrets and lying. ... Sorry.
There is a line [somewhere] for most people between keeping secrets and lying. Some liars -- say, Richard Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell, kept secret whether or not they ever knew such a line existed. A new biography, "The Strong Man," lays out the lies he told about himself and the secrets he kept for others.

A line separates what a majority believe is lying and keeping a secret? Not everyone agrees where the line is -- and an individual might not feel there is even one definite site -- but wherever the line, once you know it has been crossed it is foolish to feel anything less than pity (and complete antipathy is not necessarily wrong) for the person who pretends the line was either never there or still yet to be crossed.
