Many of Ardrey's conclusions about man arise from his readings of recent primate studies. The chimpanzee, for example, turns out to be more than a mischievous vegetarian. Bands of male chimps have been observed hunting small game, not primarily for food but for entertainment. One adult male was even seen eating its own young. Associating freely in the ethological record, Ardrey reasons that as long as primates remained treed, where food and safety were readily available, meat eating could be a sometime thing. He goes on to extrapolate that the earliest manlike creature made its appearance in rather...
...vegetables (see color overleaf) is one of the most remarkable still-lifes ever painted. Each form-the ribbed curves of the cardoon stalks, the fleshy convolutions of the hanging cabbage, the ragged lace of the lettuce-is rendered with breathtaking economy. The picture is a lesson in ideal vegetarian geometry, with the slice of lemon and the slender cones of carrots occupying space like Renaissance mathematical models.

The authors point out that TM is neither a religion nor a philosophy and that practitioners are not asked to wear "funny clothes" or follow vegetarian diets. TM followers, McWilliams and Denniston advise gravely, can even eat Big Macs in good conscience...
...History of Haus Wahnfried, 1914-1975, which premiered in Paris recently. Her basic message: anybody who thinks that Hitler was cruel, malevolent and even megalomaniacal is mistaken about his "good and human" nature. He was the sort of man, she recalls, who could be tempted into cheating on his vegetarian diet with liver dumplings. As Winni tells it, der Führer had "immensely appealing" eyes, played the piano "very nicely," and was "really touching with the children...
