Snake Specialty. With the boom in vet medicine has come a tendency to specialization. In metropolitan centers where the trade is concentrated, some vets practice exclusively on dogs or cats or birds. Los Angeles' Dr. Norman Gale has made a name as a specialist in the complaints of snakes, turtles, tortoises, lizards and frogs.

Bradley Crundwell gets the feathered trade, mostly parrots, parakeets and canaries...

Many Masaka seminarians take specialist courses outside Africa after their ordination, and Bishop Kiwanuka himself hopes to make his second visit to the U.S. next year to study sociology. His biggest problem: Moslem competition. Says he: "Both African and Asian Moslems in the diocese accumulate wealth and slowly extend their influence. Their wealth, plus polygamy, enables...
Last week Peggy Guggenheim moved to keep it that way, and by so doing dashed the hopes of museum directors round the world. After long pondering the future of her collection (she once offered to will it to famed Renaissance Specialist Bernard Berenson, now 92, and was laughingly refused), Peggy called in her attorneys to set up a foundation that would permanently preserve her palazzo collection, thus in effect bequeathing it to the Venetians...
