...singing to it, cavorting before it, and even offering to embrace it. For it seems that dramatic expression is not intimate enough, and after the play is over Miss Greenwood overflows with motherly endearments, sings "An Old Man's Darling" in loud and lusty shrieks, and then burlesques sex in a piece called "Moon Melody," using to capacity her amazingly ungainly person...
...winter lecture season got under way, one plain fact was apparent from the topics chosen for speeches, the fees paid lecturers, the types of writers who proved popular. It was that the taste of U. S. audiences had been rapidly changing. A few years ago sex and psychology were major lecture subjects, with travel adventure of the type popularized by Richard Halliburton running them a close third.

That Caesar and Antony went down was not Cleopatra's fault; if, says Ludwig, they had followed her advice, her example in killing off two brothers and two sisters, had not naively pardoned their enemies, everything would have been all right. Pale, cold-blooded Octavian, whom easygoing Antony had twice neglected to "liquidate," won out because he followed a more modern technique of demagogy and blood purges. It is in tracing such blunders of Caesar and Antony that Author Ludwig makes Cleopatra's maneuvers shine with genius...
