...warn our sisters about Joe's crafty strategies. Get this, Norma: he tries to pick up women by asking them for advice on wooing other damsels. Sometimes he tries this on several women at the same party. Heaven forbid that any innocent lamb should be caught in this social wolf's paws. We'd like to warn our fellow Cliffies, but don't know how. Oh, Norma, fount of all wisdom, guide us. Appalled in Adams...
Furthermore, they argue, we must be wary of crying wolf with "Never Again." Steven Katz, former director of the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, travels around the country emphasizing the uniqueness of the Holocaust. Though ethnic cleansing in Bosnia may be a tragedy, he says, a Holocaust it isn't. Making such comparisons only cheapens the value of the Jewish tragedy...
Given the unsettled state of the environmental movement and the vengeful mood of its adversaries, a party thrown last weekend at Chico Hot Springs, Montana, was a good bet not to happen. But it did. The Wolf Fund, a tiny activist group set up in 1986 by wildlife biologist Renee Askins, 27, declared victory, gave a few cheers and disbanded. Askins had moved to Moose, Wyoming, in 1981 with the idea of helping get gray wolves re-established in Yellowstone National Park. The process, she thought, might take two or three years. It took a decade more than that...
...opposition remains. A wolf released in February in central Idaho was shot last month, supposedly because it had killed a calf. Not true; investigation showed, as Askins says without much surprise, "the wolf was framed." She and other wolf activists realized the most likely cause of death for Yellowstone wolves would be gunfire from die-hard wolf haters. So they took a risk, listing the Yellowstone and Idaho wolves not as fully protected endangered animals, which would have provoked retaliation, but as an experimental population that can be controlled if it is troublesome. Some ranchers were reassured, and the plan...
...best piece in the show, both horribly vivid and weirdly distanced, is the room-size Carousel, 1988. Four motor-driven arms swing on a pivot. From each hangs what appears to be the flayed carcass of a deer or a wolf. (They are, in fact, hard plastic-foam molds.) These casually suspended mock bodies are covered in graphite paint, and they drag on the floor, producing an unremittingly irksome scraping noise and leaving a silvery circular trail behind them, round and round. You don't feel empathy with the dead animals--the molds are too blank to evoke much more...
