...Tyler Durden points out in the film Fight Club, the modern male feels alienated because he is led to believe that his self worth is determined by his name-brand underwear and the interior design of his apartment. Although it may lead to superior style and more urban tastes, metrosexuality is a dead-end on the road to rediscovering a healthy masculinity. We need this sense of male identity if we are going to survive in a future that relies increasingly less on those traits unique to our sex. If we don’t rediscover this healthy male identity...
Most importantly—and what government is most capable of achieving—we should be left alone. The NEA annually calls for the imposition of state licensing as well as one-size-fits-all curricula on home educators. This notion should be emphatically rejected. Home education produces superior results precisely because of its flexible nature and freedom from outmoded educational theories. Centralized bureaucrats must not legislate these benefits away...
What experts take from this is not that Lipitor is superior but that the official LDL targets may not be low enough.

Clapton says those recordings (which are just Johnson and his Gibson L-1, no accompaniment) are the finest music ever made, which leads to a conceptual dilemma: if Clapton mimics Johnson's superior minimalism, he's added nothing; if he tinkers, he risks ruining perfection. He's damned both ways. Johnson would have appreciated the double bind, but it's hard to guess what he'd make of Me and Mr. Johnson. Clapton adds a full band and as much as two minutes in length...
...right: it's exactly 500 years since Filippino's death. And it's only fitting that the show should take place in a palace built by Filippo Strozzi, Filippino's greatest patron. Many of those associated with the exhibition contend the friar's illegitimate son was his teacher's superior. Co-curator Jonathan Nelson says the show "introduces a new artist similar in style and equal in quality" - he pauses, correcting himself - "superior in quality to Botticelli." Filippino, he says, "combined a poetic vision with an extraordinary ability to render naturalistic details." Franco Camarlinghi, president of Firenze Mostre, the organization...
