...only do we strut through the Yard knowing a Harvard diploma is coming our direction, but we receive padded grades that further inflate our confidence and sense of self-importance. Though we receive a stellar education at Harvard, it is an education with little relevance to our national crises and with little practical use to the country. We are a group of 6,500 equipped with nothing but an impractical grasp of the humanities, a methodical understanding of the sciences and, worst of all, an ego that has us convinced we really do know best...
...Nature study entitled “Mobile Phones as Lekking Devices Among Human Males,” suggests that cell phones also serve as male props for a theatrical New Economy mating game. (A “lek” is, in nature, an area where males convene to strut and females come to judge potential mates.) Researchers from the University of Liverpool observed that men in trendy pubs fidgeted with their phones periodically, removed them from jacket pockets to examine the LED-screen, checked messages though they had not received a call, verified the battery life, and laid them...
...success spoiled Mark Morris? Not even slightly. In his glorious production of Four Saints, the singers are relegated to the orchestra pit, while St. Teresa (Michelle Yard), St. Ignatius (John Heginbotham) and 12 "assorted saints" swoop, skip, strut and tango across the stage, bringing out all the fun in an opera that, since its 1934 premiere, has been embraced almost solely by devotees of the avant-garde.

The site's popularity was underscored earlier this month, when it held a beauty contest at Venom, one of Singapore's largest discos: hundreds of men signed up to strut the catwalk and thousands more queued up on the street outside for a chance to ogle at them...
...George W. Bush has a puffed-up cock-of-the-walk strut. For people who think he's a little too full of himself, his walk is further evidence. Al Gore leans slightly forward and barrels along without looking sideways, which gives people the idea that he's not much of a lateral thinker. Bill Clinton has a galumphing, knock-kneed stride that explains why, as a 6' 2" 200 lb. high-school student in Little Rock, Arkansas, he was in the band rather than on the football team. The camera shot of him walking by himself - steely-jawed...
