Elaine Benes:
[Talking with Lippman and Testikow in the limo about War and Peace] Although one wonders if "War and Peace" would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it was published under it's original name "War: What Is It Good For?"

What?

Elaine Benes:
Yes. Mr. Lippman. It was his mistress who insisted he called it "War and Peace." "War - What Is It Good For" [singing] Absolutely nothin'! [Speaking to Testikov] The song got that line got from Tolstoy.
