...long after my talk with Fay, I encountered Japanese primatologist Masazumi Mitani, who along with Suehisa Kuroda established the first research camps at the edge of the Ndoki region in 1987. Since then, the Japanese researchers, in cooperation with Congolese scientist Antoine Ruffin Oko, have conducted a groundbreaking survey of animal populations in the Ndoki and have closely studied the primates, including gorillas and chimps. Mitani told me the animals were indeed unafraid of humans, but warned that conditions in the region were "very, very difficult." Knowing the extreme privation Japanese primatologists regularly endure, I took these cautionary words very...
...Cleopatra Haslip was admitted to a hospital emergency room. While the diagnosis was disturbing -- a kidney infection -- Haslip rested more easily knowing that her insurance policy would cover her medical expenses.

Cliff and Hall remember "people are dying and giving up hope," and Darlene Love jumps in with "This quiet diplomacy ain't nothing but a joke." The clincher comes with the hard challenge of Bruce Springsteen's voice, which should be some strong indication of rock's new course. Anyone ever hear Elvis Presley sing a song about Martin Luther King Jr.? On Sun City...
...latest successful legal challenge to the new McCarthyism has gained support at the Law School, inspiring an open forum presentation by Wolkenstein which will occur later in February. Sandra Ruffin, President of the Black Law Students Association, wrote in support of the victory and called it "a structured outrage" that should "serve as a signpost, a warning of the dangers to freedom which still threaten...
