Tom Wolfe's new novel:

"At Dupont College though, at least in the fraternities and the sports programs, these qualities have been reduced to parody.

"Over and against "the dorks, GPA geeks, Goths, lesbos, homobos, bi-bos, S and Mbos, black-bos, Latinos... and other whining diversoids," Hoyt (a student), who thinks of himself as "a born leader of the warrior class," imagines that "If America ever had to go to war again . . . there would be only one source of officers other than the military academies: frat boys. They were the only educated males left who were conditioned to think and react . . . like men."

Hmmm... being in the military I've always mistrusted those who would label themselves as a "born leader" or a "warrior"... generally they were the major f*ck-ups.
