...fact, the professionals on New Zealand's 119-year-old Brancepeth sheep station were impressed with Prince Charles' ability to fit in wherever he was during an official visit to meet the Kiwis. Although one dissent was recorded - a cry of "Go home, Pom" directed at his mother Queen Elizabeth after the whole family had got together to open the Commonwealth Games - the wel come accorded Charles by local teeny-boppers was more typical of the royals' reception. "Oh, you gorgeous thing!" cried one of the girls, who were out in force wherever he went...

Environmentalists sharply dispute the sheep ranchers' claim that the coyotes are now slaughtering 800,000 lambs per year. Says National Audubon Society President Elvis J. Stahr: "The figures ... are unreliable, unscientific and quite possibly self-serving. Poisons simply are not the answer to the coyote problem. If they were, the problem should no longer exist."

Nymphs Cavorting. In one such segment, "The Cave," the stage is as loaded with animals as Noah's ark. Some are stuffed, some are simulated by actors (see cut), and some are real. Wilson is daft on animals, from ravens to ostriches, not excluding live dogs and sheep. In the cave the animals, cozy and docile, rest as if inhaling and exhaling the paradisiacal peace of Creation.

Slowly, and with chilling ominousness, one wooden bar after another...
