...birth is the result of some extraordinary modern midwifery by Veterinarian Janet Stover, 29, and her colleagues. To increase the gaur's chances of survival, they picked a likely mother from the zoo's own small gaur herd-its 17 members, including the latest addition, account for about 10% of all the gaurs in captivity. The chosen female was then treated with hormones that stimulated what fertility researchers call superovulation-the release of more than one egg at a time. Finally, last fall they let the animal breed normally with a gaur bull...
Eight days later, University of Pennsylvania Veterinarian James Evans, who earlier this year had supervised another miracle of animal husbandry-the birth of the first "test-tube" domestic cow-flushed five embryos from the gaur's womb. Four of these were transferred into four Holstein cows, selected in part because their calves are larger than gaur calves. Though the reproductive cycles of all five animals had been synchronized with drugs, one cow did not accept the embryo. Another aborted after five months. The third delivered a dead fetus at 9½ months. But two weeks later, Flossie produced...
Horses, love and death begun a new race-track murder mystery and then abandoned it as hopeless after one chapter. But the case is sadly real. About the strange death of Dr. Janice Runkle-a racehorse veterinarian who ministered to Pleasant Colony, the winner of this year's Kentucky Derby and Preakness-hardly more than one fact is totally clear: her body was discovered on a bleak stretch of Lake Michigan shore line in Illinois. The rest is a troubling bundle of loose ends. There are unrequited loves and an assumed name, a quest for comfort and sudden flight...
...these are merry critiques, the tribute that humor pays to celebrity. Far more disturbing to the veteran veterinarian is an English tax structure that puts him in the 83% tax bracket. "They keep telling me to retire," he says. "Go to the Isle of Wight or some such. But this is the only job I've ever had. And this is the only place I ever loved. I came here 44 years ago and smelled the summer. I never wanted anything else." Today his idea of luxury is a sun lamp, and "out of town" means the city...
...news team, CNN brings in special contributors, ranging from Barry Goldwater and Phyllis Schlafly to Hamilton Jordan and Bella Abzug. Its burgeoning audience seems willing to bear with the rough edges, and positively seems to relish the down-home feeling of such featured staffers as Weatherman Flip Spiceland, House Veterinarian Herb Tanzer and Mike the auto mechanic. Best of all, claims Turner, the network should be profitable by year...
