...Zurich Zoo, Hediger did not have to search far for examples of such unproductive infatuations. One of his zoo's prized possessions, a 5-ft.-high African shoebill stork, barely acknowledges the presence of a female acquired especially for him. Instead, he saves all the normal male shoebill signs of affection- lowered head, lively clapping of the wooden-shoe-shaped bill, peculiar gulping noises -for his caretaker. Sometimes animal passions become actively embarrassing; recently, while a repairman was crouching in an emu's enclosure, the huge, ostrichlike Australian bird decided that the intruder was a female...
...humans or brought to zoos as youngsters. Under a keeper's warm and sympathetic care, Hediger explains, they gradually shed their innate fear of man and begin to accept him as an equal in every respect. Occasionally, after such "imprinting" or "assimilation," as animal behaviorists call these processes, male animals regard their keeper as a sexual rival.

Webb wrote a wistful ballad about the affair called By the Time I Get to Phoenix.

Alternating between juvenile temper tantrums and thumb-sucking private reveries, they dwelt on the tried-and-trite themes of alienation, lack of communication, male-female hostility, the nausea of being an American, and the pending nuclear apocalypse. In terms of the development of first-caliber playwrights, off-off-Broadway is still a dramatic pygmyland...
...Love-It. CCC is actually the undergraduate division of its next-door neighbor, the Portia Law School. Portia is an interesting place. It was founded in 1908 to provide, as you may have guessed, legal education for women. In the mid-30's the school trustees decided to admit male students and to open an undergraduate division. And so was born Calvin Coolidge College. Each institution was more or less autonomous, though the Trustees were obviously more interested in the fate of the Law School than in that of the College...
