...Soviet archcriminal, guiltiest of the Old Bolsheviks on trial, was "That Monkey" Radek, depicted horribly grimacing and malevolent on the placards which the Moscow crowds were about to shoulder in the Red Square, shouting exultation that Karl Radek was to be put to death. Up to about four months ago, Comrade Radek lived in an elaborate penthouse, atop a new Bolshevik skyscraper, and was honored as the No. 1 journalist of the Communist world, writing daily in Stalin's official newsorgan Izvestia.

...virtuoso of arboreal acrobatics, the gibbon is a small, flat-faced ape which inhabits southeastern Asia. It is a "key animal" in primate evolution because it is more at ease on two legs than any other ape or monkey, because of its cerebral affinities with man and the great anthropoid apes, and because of its well-developed social and monogamic habits. Yet less is known of the gibbon in its wild state than about any other primate of comparable importance. Therefore Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson. N.
