...recent Thursday afternoon, Wise left behind his twins, his "companion animals" and his wife and law partner Debi in their colonial house in Needham, Mass., and drove to begin work as a lecturer at Harvard Law School, teaching the rights of animals. What's necessary, Wise thinks, is to coax what he calls a paradigm shift in people's understanding of the human place, and animals' place, in nature. If--hypothetically--a certain nonhuman animal has a conscious mind, with faculties of self-awareness, language, emotional bonds and social skills, is not the animal entitled at least to legal protections...

...minute tape is hardly clandestine, but it's not in heavy news rotation either. Two silver-haired men chat in a cozy office. Dan Yeary, pastor of the North Phoenix Baptist Church, calls it "a blessing" to include his companion "in our family and our fellowship." He asks if they might talk about prayer...

Richards, a noted poet and lecturer at Tufts University, is having his first exhibit at the Gallery Bershad. Richards's companion for the show is artist Karen Boutelle, whose mixed-media wall-hangings are more visceral than Richards's pale metal sculptures. Boutelle's "Ambivalent Passages" looks like an open gash with blood pouring forward in hues of petrified amber.

...Heather Langdon '03, set the tone for the whole night. Sophisticated yet lively, musically brilliant, with movements amazingly coordinated and a mix of grace and cynicism, they draw the audience in completely. This sophisticated elegance is contrasted with Papageno (Neil Davidson '03), Prince Tamino's traveling companion. Davidson plays the role of Papageno with an animated boyish charm that provides not only comic relief from the main plot but also adds to the fullness and energy of the story itself...

Watching Fido lounge by the radiator or snowball arrogantly circle her designer litter box, it's hard to believe that dogs and cats were originally domesticated for practical purposes (dogs hunted; cats chased vermin away). While no one can deny the charms of a good animal companion, wouldn't it be nice if there were a furry friend that didn't take its place in the American household for granted? A pet that, frankly, reflected better on its modern mover-shaker owners? There is hope. "I think ferrets could be the pets of the future," says Mary Shefferman, editor...
