My wife has been picking on me
lately because 1 read 'so 'many war
books. She ciaiufi's that "every time
she goes into the bathroom, there's
a new, vicious -looking, bayonet -
wielding marine or soldier lunging
at her from the cover of a pocket
book on the back of the toto,.

I've been kind- of sheepish about
it, but 1 do enjoy a good war novel,
so I've taken to ' slipping them
under . the bath -tub when not in
use, But the kids, who• like nothing
better than to see me get a' rocket
from their mother, are starting to
squeal on me. Kim came down
stairs yesterday, bearing a new
battle 'book with a particularly
grisly cover, and with p «look of
delighted, anticipation, succinctly
tattled: -"Another war book, Mum,'

"Why in the world," my wife
wants to know, "do men find war
so.. fascinating? __"Yotl're ' 'always
spoiling parties by getting off in
a corner and talking about the
silly war. Don't you realize it's
been over 12 years, and you're no
longer dashing young heroes. I
think it's ridiculous." And so on.

Maybe it's true that men talk
too much about the -war, when
they get together. But few men
are able to cook, make their own
clothes, or have babies, subjects
that engross any gaggle of women.
Nor are men much interested in
talking about men, the only other
subject on which women can go
on interminably;
* • *
I Wok one reason men look
back With a certain warped tender-
ness on the war, and like to talk
and read about it, is that it was
the, must peaceful. period of their
lives. It was a hiatus between the
misery and turbulence of adoles-
cence, and the grim, relentless
-struggle= that -constitutes their ma=-
ture years, when they are trying
to raise a family and make ends
meet without going mad, mad l tell
you, mad.
* * *
There's an old, and completely
nonsensical tradition, that men
who've come Back from the wars
don't want to talk about it. When
someone asks them what its was
like, they're supposed to go all
that -lipped and grim, and change
the subject. I remember how dis-
gusted I was with this business'
when I came home from overseas.
Someone would ask: "How was it
over there, anyway?" I'd settle
back, prepared to tell him, for
hours, when he'd add: "But
guess you d'bn't want to talk about
it," leaving me there with my
'mouth hanging open. I Was dying
to talk about it.

Men have been talking about war
ever since Og the caveman and his
cronies sat around the fire -and
discussed with grunts of relish the
late unpleasantness with the tribe
across ,the swamp. And women
have - disapproved since 'Mrs. Og
sat back in the corner of the cave
wishing he'd stop inviting that riff-
raff around to drink homebrew
and tell lies about what they did
in the war,
Men have been writing and read-
ing about war since. they learned
to write and read. From Homer to
, Hemingway writers have looked
with horror andfascinationon the
ever -intriguing business of the
.human race , wading in bloody
Shakespeare accepted war as part
of life. And if I recall, there was
a good bit of smiting of Hittites,
Philistines and others in the Bible.

that there have been a lot of:
changes a' id improvefnents in flow-

and shorter season types we can
grow them almost anywhere today.
