Terrific stuff, and The New Yorker brass reacted with the moaning outrage of water buffalos stabbed from behind. They called Wolfe an idiot. He was a lightweight, they were the venerable custodians of an institution.

Died. Larry Fine, 73, one of the Three Stooges; of a stroke; in Woodland Hills, Calif.

...most important work. It differs from its predecessors in that his camera discovers no saving human grace among the employees of the Yerkes Primate Research Center in Atlanta. What he gives us -unfairly, according to Yerkes people -is a dismaying study of what he obviously believes to be idiot savants...
