...anti-midi, proleg passion. "The way women are buying and men are reacting," she explains, "it would seem legs have been out of sight for ten years, not ten months." Furrier Jacques Kaplan favors mink and broadtail shorts, priced up to $200, which are perfectly at home in his zebra-walled living room (see color picture). Says Kaplan: "They are the quickest way to fight the long length." Buyers couldn't agree more. In Paris, minishorts are an everynight, run-of-the-disco affair. They are particularly suited for dancing, according to one wearer last week, because...
...fish that ran afoul of the iron laws of evolution and natural disaster, and are now extinct. But the most devastating killer has been man. Since 1600, when the first precise records were compiled, man has butchered creatures ranging from the abalone to the blue whale and the zebra. "During the past 150 years," says Ecologist Lee M. Talbot of the Smithsonian Institution, "the rate of extermination of mammals has increased 55-fold. If the killing goes on at this pace, in about 30 years all of the remaining 4,062 species of mammals will be gone...
...recently summed up by an outback sheep farmer who bragged: "On my spread, we've shot 20,000 'roos in the last four years and there's still lots left."

Whisked off to a government-operated park, they spend the day shooting everything that moves-with cameras. On the way back, they stop to shop for souvenirs: Masai warriors' spears (forged in Birmingham, England) and "elephant hair" bracelets (actually made of plastic) that are supposed to guard...
FILMWAYS, the company that brought us Ice Station Zebra, has gone into the student-film business, complete with high-powered promo and the kind of program notes Ernest Borgnine might write: Genesis ? is their first contribution to what they lucidly term "an evolving art." Programs of shorts, no less student films usually make for pretty uneven viewing, and this collection is no exception: taken as a program it's astoundingly mediocre despite the money and care that has obviously been lavished on some of these productions. Further in an economy move, or perhaps in a calculated effort to prevent your...
