After sundown, guests are mercifully allowed to fade slightly, and everyone is in bed by midnight. After all, next day is apt to be a hard day at the Kennedys...

A good many enlightened people deplore this view, but cannot make themselves felt. But a few years ago, an enlightened Philadelphia lawyer named Michael von Moschzisker found himself in a position to do something about it.
