Mountain Ape-Men. More famed are the "abominable snowmen" or "yetis" of the Himalaya and central Asia. Heuvelmans is almost sure that they exist, and he marshals elaborate evidence to prove it.

The monks of one Tibetan monastery display to travelers the scalp of an alleged snowman, and Heuvelmans argues that its hair pattern, much like a gorilla's, proves it is not a fake made out of some animal's skin.

The ingenuities of the twenties no longer spread as far as they once did. The first days of true retrospective judgment on that era are just commencing...
...more theses, would effect little change. Wellesley is a small college and can operate on different systems than can a large university. There are few lecture courses. Most of the work is done in sections, and seminar courses--common for upperclassmen--offer opportunities for individual research projects. The facilities exist for more than a spoonfed, reading-list-and-1500-word-paper education. Only the desire is absent...
