               UPON COMING UPON TWO CITIZENS ENGAGED IN A FIGHT



               It is quite an enjoyable sight watching two suddenly infuri-
          ated  guys  really  slam each other around and you must take some
          pleasures where you find them.  However good citizenship  insists
          you  do something.  But first reconnoitre from behind an abutment
          and stay there if the antagonists are armed.   If  it  is  fists,
          advance  closer  and  then  you  might, with appropriate sporting
          admonitions, make sure that fair play obtains.  But on no account
          part the antagonists.  Not only is there far too much peacemaking
          these days, but combatants will frequently turn in your direction
          and  after  beating  the bejesus out of you, end up shaking hands
          and complimenting each other on the good job they did doing it.
