(Indiana University) Lines: 66 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.
