Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of South Africa, appeared on the Charlie Rose show today. (It may have been a tape from some time in the past.)

Desmond Tutu just celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. Rose asked whether he had ever considered divorce. Tutu replied with the classic line, "Divorce, never. Murder ... many times."
