A Glad Prospect War Satire From a Witty Column
A playful dialogue sketches future warfare as a gentlemanly, strategic game. Derringer Dan and friends debate how nations may wage war with refined tactics, bluff, and contrived exchanges, imagining a system of clever, nonlethal detours and escalating tech. The piece also notes local praise for Stephen Montgomery's Corn piece and oddities like timed electric lights.
