Pontiac Star Parade (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Victor Borge pursues an elusive tulip through this Scandinavian travelogue, and, once arrived at his Danish castle, settles down to some hilarious monkey business...
...modeling, Picasso sculpts by a third method: combining. He will make a bull's head out of a bicycle seat, with handle bars for horns, or a pregnant goat from a palm branch (for the back), a wicker basket (for the belly) and flowerpot udders, or a monstrous monkey, using a toy automobile for a head, a beach ball for a body.

...Lecture. Under the cool slopes of Monduli Mountain last week Edward Mbarnoti, dressed in a ceremonial blue robe and a monkey-hair headdress, officially received the chieftainship from Tanganyika Governor Sir Richard Turnbull, and resplendent British uniforms mingled with the Dogpatch garb of spear-carrying Masai elders and tribesmen.

(By no coincidence, this was at the height of the late Serge Voronoff's vogue as a transplanter of monkey testicles.) In 1931 Dr. Niehans had a woman patient whom he rated too ill for a gland transplant. He gave her instead an injection of cells from the ground-up parathyroids of a newborn lamb. Last week, a sprightly 75, she wrote Dr. Niehans from Bern to say that she "never felt...
