...gorillas like an out-of-town cousin and got even closer when she discovered they enjoy being tickled. Such proximity yielded intimate details. Individual animals can readily be identified by their noses; no two have the same shape. Silver backs exude two distinct odors. One smells like a human locker room. The other, a pungent fear scent, is released by glands in the armpit. From the author's descriptions, family life resembles a picnic on the grass. Hulks shamble off to nibble vegetation or lie about contemplating their toes. "Naoom, naoom" is the low, belching sound of a contented...
...also on TV these days as an amusingly supercilious huckster for Paul Masson wines. In the funniest of the commercials, he bursts into a locker room as a group of huge football players are about to give themselves a ritual champagne shower after a winning game. "Gentlemen!" he says reprovingly, as he expropriates a bottle and glass from a giant paw. "This is Paul Masson champagne." Holding a bottle close to one dull-looking jock, he asks, "Can you read?"

At that instant, Fermilab's newly rebuilt accelerator (physicists prefer that term to atom smasher) climbed to 512 billion electron volts (GeV),* the highest energy level ever reached by the powerful machines used by physicists to study the fundamental secrets of matter...
...male audiences. "We have found that 40% of our Pepsi Light drinkers were men, even though we never made a point of reaching them," says Joseph Block, PepsiCo vice president. Pepsi has accordingly embarked on a $10 million drive to "reposition" Pepsi Light closer to the men's locker room. One new commercial in fact is shot in a football locker room and features singing and dancing behemoths of the New York Giants defensive unit declaring that they hate opposing halfbacks and quarterbacks and then adding, in unison, "but we love Pepsi Light...
