...Harvard students have a duty to help those at lesser schools—like Columbia and Yale—break free from social life in the social slow lane and bring them up to speed on the superhighway of cool. Clubs, bars, movies, moving—all passé, bona fide faux pas in 21st-century etiquette.

The 51-year-old admits he's addicted to the speed rush. "When I'm out there on the track, I'm fearless," he says. Fearlessness has been a useful...
