''The Sweltering Night Life--''

The sweltering night life has a certain, darkly, sensual appeal,--a sexuality about it that draws the wildlife out. It is a world of darkness, a place and time of shadow and mystery when strangers fornicate. During the night, the stars come out; the moon-glow is bright; and eager libidos are on the prowl. While all around, the nocturnal rhythms increase. When the darkness takes over, the night life takes notice. Desperate men and women change with the musth of night; and--like a herd of wild elephants in heat--they feel and obey its intoxicating power to the cadence and gyrations of its nocturnal music.
