Beauty & the Beast. In Tucson, Ariz., two University of Arizona fraternities admitted that they served horse meat at several meals each week, asked that their names be withheld because it would "ruin us with the girls...
Despite its anti-social attitude, however, the musk ox has at least one wildly enthusiastic human admirer. John J. Teal, a husky, Arctic-roving anthropologist, finds it almost as gifted a beast as the shmoo; last week in Manhattan, he announced that he considered musk oxen the hope of New England, and said that he looked forward to the day when hairy herds of them would crop contentedly on the stony hillsides of New Hampshire and Vermont...
...even when (and if) the eight musk oxen grow to maturity in Vermont, a few problems will remain to be settled. Nobody milks musk oxen, since the beast regards any man, with or without a bucket in his hand, as a mortal enemy.

Monkeys, seemed not totally successful in expressing the loneliness of two creatures in the gloom of a "beast shop." The drabness of its musical tone is probably intentional and may become more meaningful after the song has been heard a few times...
