 studio for a hypoderm of anti-philanderine, and thus have him tuned down 

 a few octaves to the standard pitch of ordinary husbandly docility. Who 

 knows, perhaps even the mate-changing habits of our movie stars might 

 be attuned to the plodding pace of the great majority of our convinced, 

 if not convicted, monogamists, who drift along with one spouse, and with 

 neither prospects nor desires for the hazards of another!
