...knew, there she was on the runway-two endless legs stretching up toward an encompassing smile, as Margie Lindsay, 14, daughter of New York's photogenic mayor, made her modeling debut at a press preview of Maximilian's new collection. Margie modeled coats of calf, lamb and otter ("Mink is for 20-year-olds," said the furrier) to fond applause before being hustled back to school. "She wanted to do it," said her mother.

A gorilla had been seen pulling fruit to within its grasp by means of a crooked branch. The sea otter used rocks for opening shellfish. And Galapagos woodpecker finches probed insects from holes with short twigs...

With Tomatoes & Bacon. Today, Washington game officials plant 350,000 steelhead each year in Barnaby Slough, a well-hidden pool 50 miles up the Skagit from Puget Sound. Protected by wardens with shotguns from natural predators (mink, otter, kingfishers, mergansers), fattened on fish meal, they are released at the age of a year. The results are astonishing. This year, Washington fishermen will catch upwards of 225,000 steelheads compared...
