    My boss has those qualities, but I'm not sure "elegant" applies to a man.  I always think of it as a feminine compliment.

    Different strokes L. We disagree. I think Cary Grant was a very elegant man. Smooth, suave, sleek, polished. No rough edges I could see. I also think that Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones are/were elegant  Sean Connery too as James Bond. Sir Lawrence Olivier was always elegant to me. And you mayl be surprised by this one but Humphrey Bogart, my favorite ever actor, was elegant in my eyes. Especially in Casablanca when he sent Ingrid Bergman away and said she should be with her husband who needed her because there was a greater cause in life than the two of them. Also when he said to Claude Rains "this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship".  So I guess elegant is a very quixotic thing. Chameleon in nature. I think Ronald Coleman was very elegant on his way to death as he says "it is a far far better thing I do than I have ever done. It is a far far better place I go to than I have ever known". I think astropyhysicists are extremely elegant in the way they think and what they seek "out there somewhere".  Lou Gehrig was an elegant baseball player and also eloquent when he addressed the crowd and said "I am the luckiest man alive" s he was dying of ALS. So you see how flexible "elegance" is to me L? Thank you for your reply. Different strokes.And in terms of thinking whose thinking was ever more elegant than Dr. Stephan Hawking?

    I will definitely go along with you on Cary Grant being smooth, suave and sleek.  :)
