...thought. But when I squinted through cage corners and down the dark paths toward the Small Mammal House, I saw a man-shaped figure, loping more or less on all fours, turn the corner by the Monkey Complex-followed by another just like him, though not as thick in the chest.

Even though they came from 50 states and 28 foreign countries, the Scouts camped on this 76,086-acre Army reservation have no trouble striking up friendships.

As the macho son of the legendary hero, again righting tyrannical rulers in old Los Angeles, George Hamilton relies heavily on the limited laugh potential of a thick accent. He also plays a twin who is gay, reluctantly substituting for his more virile brother when the latter breaks an ankle. The gay twin redesigns Zorro's basic-black costume in more flamboyant shades and informs the peons it is no shame to be poor, only to be badly dressed...
