Nevertheless, there it was, staring me right in the face. On the cover of GQ was George Clooney. Beneath his sardonically smiling face were the words of truth: "George Clooney and the Meaning of Guyness," an article by Peter Richmond. From the look of the photograph (with a little fashion savoir faire provided by a small insert), it seems that real men wear stripes, lots of them, preferably by Emporio Armani, at a total cost of somewhere in the thousand-dollar range. Incidentally, or not so incidentally, real men are also white, but that's for another time...

Which means, to take...

George is popular in this day and age, Richmond postulates, not only because the remainder of the male leads are scrawny and naive little boys, but because George knows what it is to be a man: "If there seems to be some question about the role of the male in late-millennium America, about how you're supposed to act as a man right now, there's no question in George's mind." George knows the answer: now is the time to be a guy again. Guys never let the women pay the check and always take care of their...
