    Another man we like is the actor Damian Lewis, pictured. He’s one of those people who has it. What do I mean, it? You know, it. He tells Style Journal (the Wall Street Journal’s quarterly magazine for men who wear Tag Heuer watches and use a shaving brush) that he finds acting increasingly difficult. “A natural part of ageing is discovering your limitations, and it’s painful. It’s taken me quite a long time to realise I have any. They’ve never become apparent …,” he says. He adds being an actor is “very self regarding”. He’s not wrong there.

  • Connie brought us up-to-date on the current status of the campaign to award the Medal of Honor to Major Richard Winters for his heroic actions at Brecourt Manor on D-Day. US citizens are asked to write to their congressmen and women in support of H.R.796 (the congressional bill proposing the MOH for the Major); click here for more information.
