About 8:40 one morning last week, Warren Deane Thomas, a 26-year-old Ohio State University graduate student and employee of the Columbus Zoo, walked into the monkey house to feed the animals. When he reached the cage of Christina, a nine-year-old, 280-lb. gorilla, he found her squatting listlessly in a far corner, indifferent to the hard-boiled egg he held. Then he saw why: on the floor squirmed a baby gorilla-probably the first ever born in captivity...
...England to weld the Dutch resistance forces into an effective unit during World War II. He liked the gay life and fast cars; his Queen was motherly, deeply religious and serious. In 1947 the couple faced a domestic tragedy in the birth of their fourth daughter, Princess Maria Christina (nicknamed Ma-rijke). As a result of German measles suffered by her mother during pregnancy, the little princess was born with cataracts on both eyes. Doctors were able to save some of the vision in one eye, but by the time Marijke was, two, the sight of the other was gone...

Last week, out from a Kiel shipyard for a trial run with Onassis on board sailed his new yacht, probably the fanciest private ship afloat. Called the Christina (after his wife), Onassis' floating palace is a 1,445-ton, 303-ft. Canadian destroyer escort (Stormont) rebuilt into a yacht at an estimated cost of $2,500,000. In the afterdeck is a marble swimming pool, with a mosaic floor that can be raised for dancing...
...deals to buy surplus ships (TIME, Feb. 15), waited for delivery of one of the fanciest yachts to sail since Financier J. P. Morgan's Corsair churned the seagoing carriage-trade routes. In the North German port of Kiel, a 325-ft. frigate is being converted into the Christina, a floating pleasure dome which will be the flagship of Onassis' cargo and tanker fleet. Trimmed in marble, mosaics and lapis lazuli (cost: $3.50 per square inch), the yacht will have a top speed of 18½ knots, will tote- among other frills-a doctor's operating room...
