...Warbler of Watergate" [Dec. 5], as any political bird watcher knows, is not a warbler, but a silver-crested lib thrasher (Cranius vacantus) who mates with the now famous red. white and blue American bald eagle (Juris patriotus). The thrasher is often confused with the Communist-eating hawk (Victus eternus), but differs in its diet, for the thrasher thrives on yellow-bellied land snatchers and pink-tufted dissenters (Marxis militanus). The thrasher is a close relative of the Baltimore hatchet wielder (Agnewus intim-idalus) and the rednecked robin (Thur-mondus segregatus), until recently thought to be extinct...
...brown suit, a blue-and-green. striped-and-flowered tie, and a full beard. Lutin wore a pink shirt and a collarless blue sports jacket. An ascot was tied around his neck, and his greasy black thinning hair was stretched sparsely across his scalp, painfully trying to cover the bald spots until it could relax in a thick growth at the bottom of his neck. When I asked him what types of people came for horoscopes. he was exuberant. He had obviously been waiting for the question. His finger jabbed at the air, his mouth pouted open, and his large...
...have the disappearance of the Bald Eagle, the sinking of Venice, and the disintegration of the sewers of New York. The Bald Eagle is cutting down his numbers at the same rate that man is multiplving his. There will be eight billion of man at the end and one of the Bald Eagle. The Venetians are pumping out, for their own use, the water of the underground lake that Venice floats on, so it's gradually slipping under. But they don't care. And New York's sewer system has five more years before it starts letting loose. But because...
America's only subtropical national park is a multitude of habitats-inland pine sloughs, vast saw grass savannahs, hardwood hammocks and coastal mangroves with myriad islands and canals. It is a refuge of 22 endangered species, including the bald eagle, osprey, snowy egret, Florida panther and alligator. Each year, more than a million visitors peer from trails and catwalks at the antics of exotic herons, bitterns and roseate spoonbills. They are mystified by the anhinga, a prehistoric bird that must spread and dry its wings after diving for fish, or drown from lack of natural-body-oil protection...
...Lomax gleefully caricature Lloyd George and Herbert Asquith as, respectively, fatuous and feckless. Charles Kay, made up to resemble Shaw, touchingly yet comically portrays one of the last of the 31st century's "short-livers"; Philip Locke and Jeanne Watts lend a glint of intellectual ecstasy to the bald, sexless ancients of the future. In such performances, the strands of Shaw's sometimes garrulous argument are tuned to a fine pitch, so that only a few maxims thump through ungraced by melody...
