ANNOUNCEMENTS
Primate Nooz regrets to announce the immediate departure from
our editorial staff of Mr. Christopher Shaw, who has found it impossible
to carry on his important work at the Page Museum while at the same time
being burdened by his duties as 'Recommended Reading' editor for the Nooz.
Mr. Shaw declared in his letter of resignation that the logistical
problem
of commuting back and forth between Los Angeles and Hellmouth has become
insuperable and physically exhausting, causing him to neglect his responsibilities
in both areas. Mr. Shaw thanked the entire editorial board and staff
for their courtesy and consideration, and wished much good luck to the
Nooz. We on our part assured Mr. Shaw that we will continue
to do everything in our power to see that the phony references to him
and Reader's Digest are kept out of the paper, and we apologized
once again for any embarrassment they may have caused him or his family.
It remains to be seen whether or not he will continue to press his legal
action against the Nooz, but just in case he does, we have retained
the services of a prominent attorney in Cheesequake who is familiar with
cases like this. In the meantime, the 'Recommended Reading' section
is being taken over on an interim basis by Mr. Win Wing Wan, lately of
the Beijing Zoo.

Now that I have been suspended from my duties at the Hellmouth Human Diseases and Primate Testing Facility, I have a lot of time to work on my Nooz column, “Dr. Doody's Cutting Corner,” so your questions will not be as unwelcome as they were before, no matter how pusillanimous. Send SASE to Dr. Dick Doody, M.D., c/o Primate Nooz, Hellmouth. Now that I have resigned from my position at the Nooz and my lawsuit is going more slowly than I had anticipated, I have a lot of time on my hands and will be more than happy to recommend some good reading for you, so please don't hesitate to call me, Chris Shaw, anytime night or day, toll-free at 1-800-555-2020, or drop on by my office at the Page Museum. Sale on used primatology books through Sat. Nocturnal Plummeting in African and Asian Anthropoids, Primate Pesematology in 2 vols., The Burrowing Guenon of Gabon, Two Came Back, and many more.

| The Hellmouth Post Office has asked the Nooz to notify its subscribers that it needs at least one full year's notice of any change of address in order that it might expedite delivery. Many of our readers live in queer places like Bali-Bali and Gabon, and the vagaries of local postal systems and air-drop companies, not to mention the uncertainties of political situations, make it necessary to have this extra time, and we are sorry for the inconvenience. We here at the Nooz hope you will assist them to make their job a little easier. |
