...deeply concerned that the "Return of the Sea Otter" [Feb. 9] may well mean the demise of the sea otter. "What might the coat cost?" it was asked. It might well cost the loss of another of the world's unique creatures. Since the inception of the present century more than 40 kinds of mammals have been exterminated. They are forever lost to us and all following generations...
Nothing of the kind happened. And to further coat Giap's pill with bitterness, he took losses that most other states' armies would consider unacceptable. The allies estimated that more than 27,000 Communists died in the attacks and, even allowing for considerable inflation of the figure, the ratio of enemy dead to those of the allies was worse than 7 or 8 to 1.

Liebes had come with carte blanche from Stanley Marcus to buy the finest four skins to be made into "the most extravagant lady's sport coat in the world, price no object." What might the coat cost?

He topped off his career in 1966 with a set of giant frescoes for a specially built chapel near Rheims, hoping cheerfully to "atone...
...past six years, Jacqueline Kennedy, 38, has occasionally been wearing a magnificent leopard coat made from $30,000 worth of rare skins given her by the Somali government when she was First Lady. Last month the generous Somalis presented a similar token of their esteem to Muriel Humphrey, 55, during her African jaunt with the Vice President. Alas! The intervening years have seen the passage of a law prohibiting Government officials from accepting any gift of more than "minimal value," and Muriel had to turn the furs over to the State Department. There is a possibility, said State, that Humphrey...
