BESOTTED by the women who inflame, entice but usually elude or ignore them, What Now , Lieutenant tracks three men from the Second World War into the present century. Dr. Elder is a well-intentioned classicist/polytheist, who, having been flung into the Battle of the Bulge, emerges physically intact and embarks on a quest for a congenial wife and a stress-free life.
