...fowl performers, Quack Nicklaus, blew a stunt. Keened the trainer: "There's only so much you can teach a duck.") At Sea World the dolphins do backflips in sync; a walrus sprays his audience on cue; seals eat fish dangled by children; there are even a few humans doing water-ski daredeviltry to pre-Beatles rock in the Beach Blanket Ski Party show. As at Disney World, Sea World works hard to elicit one of two reactions from its visitors: awe ("Isn't that amazing!") and awwww ("Isn't that cute!"). Because Sea World's stars are live animals...
...have hiking in the woods, fishing in Lake Superior, on small lakes and in trout streams. I cross-country ski, and downhill ski.

...Circus of the Stars last winter, Valerie Perrine rode an elephant. For the same show this winter, she has a more slippery task: to do the "Roman Dolphin Ride," a regular stunt at San Diego's Sea World. After two splashy falls, she managed to stand up and water-ski on the backs of two friendly dolphins, who, she complained, felt "like wet inner tubes" and gave her a rough ride. She also had a run-in with another aquatic creature; Shamu, the resident killer whale, swam up and gave her a big wet kiss...
...Arab world had published any gossip linking Jordan's monarch to Miss Toukan. Moreover, since the lady in question is only about 20, any relationship the King had with her during his school days must have been decidedly avuncular. The rumors began six weeks ago after a water-skiing show at the resort town of Aqaba, where Miss Toukan acted as a Royal Jordanian Airlines hostess and Hussein, towed by helicopter, did a water-ski performance...
