...show grew increasingly outlandish. White--now well into adolescence and towering over actors he once looked up to, his high-pitched whine making him sound less like a nerd than a demented castrato--played a host of other characters: in drag, as Urkel's Mississippi cousin Myrtle; as rap-singing cousin Original Gangsta Dawg; and as a suave, Buddy Love-style alter ego named Stefan Urquelle...

Although his boss has started speaking almost entirely in class- and race-baiting rap and insults the vapid, helmet-blond moderator of the final debate, Murphy soldiers on as if he's got just a nanny problem on his hands.

...open arms, as well as a comfortably mellow living environment. Upstairs in 1705 Mass. Ave one finds the "Lounge," an opium den-style lounge christened by an initial misspelling. Nothing like blue lights, Oriental rugs and the right music to set the mood. Amidst rumbles of reggae, folk and rap, the self-proclaimed "official music of the Co-op" is not the Dead, but pure funk. The Lounge also has its own band, whose members happen to be away for the semester. Several of the rooms house guitars and other instruments, and a variety of art decorates the walls...

Outside zoo authorities say the company is getting a bad rap. All zoos experience attrition, and a dozen or so deaths among a population of more than 1,000 is not out of line with the norm. "Eventually, all of them will die," says Jane Ballentine, a spokeswoman for the American Zoo and Aquarium Association. "Just like humans...
