ANNOUNCEMENTS

Yes, it's true.  Primate Nooz is going belly up.  Every-
thing must go, paperclip bins, water coolers, rolling
chairs, air cleaners, ink spreaders, copy machines and
everything located near any of those things.  Every-
thing from the very desks of publisher Arnett Putney,
III and executive editor Widen Lundale, Jr. to the hot
1250° hydrogen laser spotlight (and its owner, Bill
Measely).  Everything!  The Nooz is folding its tent
and will be gone from Hellmouth by next Tuesday, so
come in while you have a chance and see what we've
got.  All our features will be available to anyone who
wants them, “WHAT IS...?,” “Dr. Doody's Cutting
Corner,” “Spotlight on the World,” “Report from the
Field,” “200 Months Ago Today,” “News Behind the
News,” “Year in Review,” “Recommended Reading.”
All of them.  Please note that any other primatology
newspapers are welcome to rifle through our stuff to
see if there's anything they could use.  Well, all except
PRIMATE LIFE, Primate Week, and New Southwest
Arizona Monkey News
, that is.  Those three publica-
tions in particular have not supported us as we would
have wished.  We'll be open tomorrow from 1-3pm.

Dear Editor,
      Just what are we supposed to do now that the
Primate Nooz is going out of business?  Read Ladies
Home Journal
or World of Mechanics?  I mean,
we've been relying on the Nooz ever since the Big
Blow of '72.  Who else is going to do “Reports from
the Field” like E.S. Fleiglehaus did?  Who else is
going to advise us about surgical matters the way
that Dr. Dick Doody, Chief Surgeon (Suspended)
did?  Who else can focus the 1250° beams of the
hydrogen laser spotlight on wierd corners of the
world the way Bill Measely did?  I mean, PRIMATE
LIFE
isn't even in the same universe as the Nooz.
So what are we going to do?

Dear Arnie,
      Well, there's The Primate Times of London,
Travel and Primatology, Monkeys of Mali Monthly,
Chimp Digest, the Gorgonzola Gazette, The World
Weekly
, the British Royal Museum Journal of the
Cercopithecinae
, Monkey World, Bombay Monkey
Club Notes
, the Journal of Abnormal Primatology,
Junior Ape Magazine, Primate Week and the British
Review of Primates
, but we agree that there was
only one Primate Nooz, and now that it's going to be
gone, there are only second-rate substitutes left.
We are going to be forwarding your letter to the
Ralph A. Bennett Teasdale Corporation in hopes
that they will reevaluate their unfortunate decision
to close down the Nooz.

Dear Editor,
      Last Friday I was visiting a friend who works in
the 'Recommended Reading' section of the Nooz,
and I could swear I saw Win Wing Wan.  The
person I saw was definitely Oriental, and he was
holding his elbow as though he was in pain.  I know
Mr. Win was frozen and all, but is there any possib-
ility that his ghost could be haunting the Nooz?   I'm
sure it was him.  Have you had any other reports of
people seeing him?

Dear Thursby,
      Yes, we have.
