ANNOUNCEMENTS
After having for years been besieged (and irritated) by requests
for a scientific letters column, such as in Nature or Science,
an idea which we thought at first ridiculous and which we resisted
up until this morning, Primate Nooz is now proud to announce
that it will henceforth have a scientific letters column, perhaps
not quite like the one in Nature, but more like the one in
PRIMATE LIFE. This column will be confined to scientific
letters only, and the letters are going to have to be really scientific.
Every letter will be screened and scrutinized by our Scientific
Standards Department, and less than scientific letters will simply
not be accepted. The column will appear in the Nooz
on a semi-regular basis, and will be called “Really Scientific
Letters.”
We are also proud to be able to announce the promotion of Mr. Christopher
Shaw from West Coast Correspondent to West Coast Correspondent
and Really Scientific Letters Editor, which we sincerely
hope will induce him to drop once and for all any plans he may be
harboring to sue us.
'Recommended Reading' is now being handled by a new addition to
our staff, Dr. Thrace Thrasher, M.D., while Win Wing Win, eldest
son of the late frozen Win Wing Wan, has returned to Hupeh, China,
to begin his very own series of 'Recommended Reading' wall posters.

Adult male tight-lipped marmoset, mate died recently after producing
a fine pair of offspring who are now driving me crazy. They're almost
as big as I am and they still want to ride. Need female to share
burden. Please, I'm getting desperate. A2
Sub-adult female Allenopithecus (Allen's swamp monkey for those
of you who don't know) desires to better position in the world and leave
the swamp. Would not be averse to establishing a relationship with
one of the more advanced cercopithecines. Not very good-looking
but quite energetic. B9.
Young, bright, free-spirited, incredibly attractive female primate (I
won't say what kind because I love mystery and I'm open to any genus or
species) seeks companion. Sexual dichromatism and dimorphism are definite
turn-ons for me. I want to be taken care of. You must be the
dominant type, strong, healthy, experienced, big enough in all the pertinent
dimensions, with good vision and superb vocal ability. Send photos
and tape. D12.
Male silverback mountain gorilla with severe asthma wants to resettle
in lowland locality. Preferably a reserve of some kind, but will
consider a zoo if the right place is available. Son anxious to take
my place so must act in a hurry. Call now. R17.
