This book was written to prove that the principle-don't hurt cats and they won't hurt you-is sound for lions even in the lion's own domain.

...with U.S. help, and Castillo Armas' corrupt regime, cut off by an assassin's bullet. With quiet humor and calculated eccentricity, President Ydigoras. 64, has made himself a popular figure. Refusing to live in the presidential palace, he has installed himself-along with a twittering aviary, a pet deer and a dwarf footman-in a remodeled museum...
