The writers of Inherit the Wind strike again. With a dearth of stage props (à la Wilders Our Town), this drama contains much dry wit mixed with wisdom. This time the target of their drollness is Henry David of Walden fame and his infamous night in the calaboose for failure to pay taxes due to his condemnation of the U.S.-Mexican War. Written towards the end of the Vietnam fiasco it is no less appropriate today.
