...Tales of Hoffmann, while the stage temperature registered 160 degrees-later she threw up and nearly collapsed. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf had to be carried to the wings after singing Der Rosenkavalier in a heavy hoop skirt. Cincinnati Zoo history is replete with disputes between singers and kamikaze bats, suicidal moths, unhousebroken monkeys and pigeons that expressed their opinion of performances in the only way available to pigeons...
...sole heir, mustachioed James Irvine Jr. For most of his 55 years as bossman, irascible "J.I." ruled the range from the spread's white frame "Mansion," battling with squatters, poachers and Government agents. At off-the-ranch social occasions, he liked to bring along a pack of unhousebroken dogs to express whatever pique he might hold against his hosts.

Holly is the heroine of the long title story in this four-story collection and the hottest kitten ever to hit the typewriter keys of Truman (The Muses Are Heard) Capote. Her unhousebroken style of life has already barred her from the intellectual drawing room of Harper's Bazaar, whose editors bought the story but did not print it. Holly is really more to be pitied than censored, more waifish than raffish, a bad little good girl, alone and a little afraid in a lot of beds she never made...
