 The title is an allusion to the Phil Oschs song "Outside of a Small  Circle of Friends, the first verse of which is, "Look outside the  window,/Theres a woman being grabbed/Theyve dragged her to the  bushes/And now shes being stabbed/Maybe we should call the cops/And  try to stop the pain/ But Monopoly is so much fun,/ Id hate to blow  the game/ And Im sure it wouldnt interest anybody/Outside of a  small circle of friends."
