His style has the rare naivete of Rob Benchley (dramatic critic of Life), and he should go far as a humorist. Meanwhile he has lost a great opportunity to enhance his reputation, by refusing to debate the question of female intelligence with a woman...
...unusual melodic progression and strange and mingled harmonies. The open chords at the beginning are effective; they seem to tell of mystery and paganism.

A pistol murder, for example, cannot come up in court because Allah, when he dictated the Koran, forgot to speak of pistols. In addition, a Moslem can kill, assault, rob, and injure a Christian in any manner he pleases because this doesn't constitute a crime in Turkey. With prospects like these any man fortunate enough to be born a Turk is indeed lucky, provided of course that he can find a Christian on whom to practice the pastimes the Koran...
