Just before I left school that spring, two cats got a kilo of grass in the mail. They sold lids [packages containing roughly one ounce] and I bought two. I put them in my suitcase and the first night home, I smoked and left the bag under the bed instead of hiding it. One of my brothers found it and brought it to my parents.

...comedy on TV this fall. The idea was to base the series on James Thurber's cartoons, using them to illustrate some of his fables and weave the make-believe into the life of a cartoonist played by William Windom.

Too true. There is a provocative chapter on the sex life of baboons, whose customs find some resonances in human behavior. Baboons also become addicted to intoxicants, it appears, and feel let down just as evening falls. But Marais...
