PROLOGUQ WITH ALL DUE APOLOGIES TO SHAKESPEARE, WE HAVE HEREIN PRESENTED A MODERNIZED VERSION OF HIS NONE TOO ORIGINAL CON- CEPTION OF THE AGES THROUGH WHICH MAN WENDS HIS WAY TO MORTALITY. WE HAVE SMIRKED SOMEWHAT AT MAN'S FOL- LIES AND FOIBLES. BUT WHY TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY? WE WILL NEVER GET OUT OF IT ALIVE. YET THERE IS A MORAL WITH WHICH WE JUSTIFY OURSELVES.
