Kudos to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for donating unwanted fur coats to the homeless [Jan. 24]. I wish I could say I have never worn fur, but I have a rabbit-fur coat hanging in the back of my closet from my more selfish days. I'm going to send it to PETA.

The message embedded inside the address was, in the words of a White House adviser, "Don't back...

...loud and horrible. A small, stupid child, like many who attended the dog show, reached out a paw toward a vast belligerent St. Bernard who was lounging in his sawdust covered stall, swathed in a towel lest the slobber from his mouth should stain his sleek and tonsured fur. The St. Bernard lurched bellowing at the child; a collie barked at the St. Bernard; an Airedale yelped at the collie; soon, all the dogs were in a noisy fury.
