No bang. Not even a sullen pop. And eyes were dry all around. No one mourned, few even noticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo glasses clinked at the Club in celebration. And that was all the wake they deserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI and my visitor-turned-conspirator were the only witnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo the end of a global war that now never happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- - - -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe had entered uninvited and unwelcomed that first day, long ago. It's not that women couldn't have male visitors at the Club. As long as they were properly chaperoned or in the very public areas. But in those days, and by that time, no one expected that a white male presented any challenge or hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWomen ran politics, they ran business, they ran the world. Women scientists explored the known universe and profited from their discoveries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Mari, a \u003cem\u003eman\u003c\/em\u003e is here to see you.\" The female maitre d' at my elbow quietly announced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interrupted my news scanning, but was cautiously done. Alarmed Club members could get a bit defensive. And in these days, that could be dangerous to other Club patrons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI sensed this as something unique, something out of the usual, the humdrum. It was actually a change I had been praying for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo when that lone white male called at the all-female Club and asked for me by name, I accepted. He was shown to the middle of the main lounge, where two overstuffed chairs sat separated by a small side table. A distance surrounding them for room to move in case anything untoward developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile such a visit took time away from my scheduled daily poker game. I was tired of the usual bitching banter that accompanied each hand as we all knew the other's tells and bluffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was time for new blood.
