...Neapolitan city girl like Sophia Loren, 32, understandably gets the willies around wild animals-and this lit tle gathering included a bear, lion, tiger, leopard, ocelot, and a great dark brute dancing a tango. That would be Marcello Mastroianni, 42, Sophia's co-star (with Peter Sellers and Jonathan Winters) in Sophia's first musical, an ABC special called With Love...From Sophia, which will be shown on TV next month. No hoofer, Sophia rehearsed for weeks before taking on Marcello, who danced in a 1966 Italian stage musical. "I'm not Margot," she conceded after taping...
Whale Talk. Eventually, the most promising trainees graduate to the "Beverly Hills" suite of cages, home of such four-legged thespians as Judy the chimp, who can understand 76 verbal commands; Clarence the cross-eyed lion; Bruce the ocelot, who was a regular on TV's Honey West; Zamba II the lion, who appears on the Dreyfus Fund commercials; and Modac the elephant, a 53-year-old veteran of the Ringling Bros.

Every minotaur language seems to be losing whatever lynx remain with the deer old English we once gnu and loved. It used to comfort ocelot to pick up TIME and read straight-forward copy without being exposed to the whims of devilfish writers. And, alas, even TIME is now tapiring off in a manner that has us aphid linguiphiles so worked up we could spitz! Weasel all be happier if you stick with straight news...
...Salvador Dali. To please his favorite contemporary artist, Hartford has filled his museum from top to bottom with 375 items of Dali's hitand-miss genius. But it was Dali himself who won best-of-show at a gala black-tie lecture attended by critics, socialites and an ocelot on a leash. Sporting his silver-handled cane, Dali held the audience in breathless amusement as he dashed off a sketch of a horseman to the tempo of world-renowned Guitarist Manitas de Plata and his flamen co-booted partner-while a museum aide scampered back and forth across...
