Unfortunately, the comic side of this Walpurgis Night wandering diminishes when Author Boyle endows Wilt with an intuition, inspired by drink and his own fantasies, that enables him to solve in one night a fraud which takes seven years for the law courts to see through. Modest readers, unable to figure out Kay Boyle...

Athens' allies were slipping away; the Syracuse expedition had ended in crushing disaster. But whenever one side suggested peace, the other side was doing too well with the war to call it off. Then Aristophanes wrote Lysistrata. What if all the women of Athens united, seized the Acropolis, told the men they would live resolutely continent till the war ended? Aristophanes suggested that the war would end at once...
