Can you imagine a true figure of legitimate authority &mdash; say, a Don Vito  Corleone or his boy Michael, or Gen. Eisenhower or MacArthur or even Cmdr. Jm. T. Kirk &mdash; needing to frantically wave their hands in the air to convey their command? No, sir. Only fired reality-TV mopes need to do it. It&rsquo;s the Costanzas and the Potsie Webers &#038; Ralph Malphs of the world who have to resort to wild hand gestures.
