...startling statistic compiled by Zoologist Alfred C. Kinsey (TIME, Aug. 24) that 50% of U.S. males have some homosexual contact in their lives does not prove them sexually abnormal. In the great majority of cases, the contact is slight and limited to one or a few occasions during childish exploration in a strange, new world. Parents who recognize this will not make the mistake of exaggerating the importance of the event. Then, most likely, the fancy will pass without more...
Christine Jorgensen arrived in Chicago from Bloomington, Ind. and announced: "I gave Dr. Kinsey a full report-the same as millions of other women have done." Zoologist Alfred C. Kinsey, whose Institute for Sex Research has taken 7,800 case histories of women, did not say whether he had put Transvestite Jorgensen's data in his male or female file. Instead, exhausted from laboring on his forthcoming book, Dr. Kinsey went into a hospital for a short rest and checkup...
...young zoologist who had decided to take a job as a professor at the new University of Miami, the news in 1926 was depressing. The crash of Florida's big real-estate boom had all but wiped out the university backers; worse still was the devastation left by the 1926 hurricane. Zoologist Jay F. W. Pearson might never have gone to Miami at all if he had spotted the headline sooner: MIAMI IN RUINS...

Its great administration building remained only a skeleton; its one usable building was an abandoned, half-finished hotel, which was fixed up with beaverboard partitions to accommodate classes. President Ashe himself had to borrow on his own insurance policies to help pay professors' salaries, and Zoologist Pearson had to build his own laboratory tables. The whole campus seemed so shaky, in fact, that it became known throughout the U.S. as "Cardboard College...
Manx breeding is no simple matter. Ordinary cats become plentiful whenever nature is permitted to take its course, but Manx cats are not ordinary cats. They are not even hybrids between cats and rabbits, as some Manxmen believe. According to Zoologist Frederick Zeuner of London, they are genetic freaks: "mutations with a tailless characteristic apparently linked with high-leggedness." The type probably originated when one tailless, mutant tomcat managed to impress his character on a large number of descendants. The name of this Adam torn is not known, or even whether he operated in the Isle of Man, but ever...
