Among the participants in this guffawlderol: a club-car Pagliaccio otherwise known as "Harry Bannerman, boy adulterer" whose inability to make a heavy date with his civic-minded wife drives him to guilt-ridden sessions "of candlelight and yum-yum" with a sex-famished neighbor; the neighbor's absentee husband, a cigar-chomping titan of TV; an amiable, lovesick sheep in second lieutenant's clothing named Guido di Maggio ("Hey, di Maggio...
