Because of the coolness with which he shields an implied commitment. Cavett may be on the verge of becoming an exemplar, and, by extension, a mentor, of the high school and college generation of Americans; the closest historical analogy might be that cited by William H. Whyte, Jr., author of "The Organization Man," who said that many of his Class of 1939 Princeton undergraduates modelled their actions on the cool stylishness of Fred Astaire...
Cleopatra got decked out in a rug, and Scarlett O'Hara, fresh out of frills, went to town in Tara's velvet draperies. Contemporary women can now be almost as enterprising.
