...like such mammals as the dog and the monkey, which have brains built on the same plan as humans, even though they are much dumber. The octopus is not a mammal, or even a vertebrate. It is a mollusk, a sort of sophisticated clam. Its brain evolved independently-and the octopus in many ways is an independent thinker. Last week University of Cambridge Zoologist Martin J. Wells was preparing to publish a fascinating study on a far-out subject: the octopus and its intellect...
...dismaying dilemma: the Senate version, appropriating nearly twice the money ($1.8 billion) offered by the House, authorized special federal funds to raise teachers' salaries-a mouth-watering campaign plum.

Pat Daniels: "I feel like a monkey in a cage." One rubbernecker made it past frantic Italian guards at the gate of the men's quarters by simply stripping to his shorts and running...
...lunatic vision, the Weimar Republic becomes a memorable cartoon-rather as if George Grosz had been a Disney animator. On a diet of zwieback, Lasik sits in a druggist's window advertising the shocking effects of not drinking cod liver oil; later he understudies for a circus monkey. Small wonder that when he wants to invoke God he swears "in the name of all that is being ridiculed...
