ANNOUNCEMENTS
Primate Nooz regrets to announce that Mr. Christopher Shaw's on-again
off-again lawsuit against us is on again. He has apparently become
impatient with the Nooz's inability to keep his name out of the
'Recommended Reading' section, and he feels his reputation is being damaged.
We are deeply saddened, distressed and hurt by this unexpected turn
of events, inasmuch as we have tried to accommodate Mr. Shaw in every
conceivable way. Frankly, we believe it's a computer problem, perhaps
one of those viruses that's going around, but in any case we have notified
our legal advisors, the prominent Cheesequake firm of Thudwick, Thudwick,
Marblehead and Thudwick, to anticipate his action, block it if possible,
and countersue if necessary. In the meantime, we are eagerly awaiting
his next report from the West Coast.

ADVERTS
There will be a special tour for primatologists and anyone else to Gabon
and Madagascar in December, 1989. The tour will be led by Eric Scotmeister
Fleiglehaus and will be limited to just 12 people. The group will
visit the Makokou Study Area in Gabon, meet with Dr. Oondóué
M. Boué, and hopefully observe some bluetail guenons, although
there haven't been any there lately, then will fly to Madagascar where
they will be personally escorted around the Nosy-Varinda Nature Reserve
by Professor Ambato Ambilobe of Antananarivo University. Nosy-Varinda
is known especially for its large endemic population of frilled indris
and giant mouse lemurs. The tour is being jointly sponsored by Gabon
Airways and Primate Nooz. Price including airfare from Los
Angeles will be $4,999.99 each or two for $10,599.99. Call the Nooz
for details.
Ultimate Party Line now available. Strict confidentiality as to
species. Contact Hellmouth Electric Phone.

SPOTLIGHT Cont. from page 3.
might see a giant mud turtle, or even a skipperjack. There's a
clearing where a tree might have fallen over. And there's another
small hill. And another clearing.
So we can see, as the
green leaves begin to turn brown under the hot 1250 ° glare of the
spotlight, that the apparent uniformity of the rainforest topography is
only an illusion, and that the ant-strewn Amazon is really filled with
an endlessly fascinating and varied array of physical features. But
the ancient Amazon is much more than this. It is Curuá and
Xingu Indians, Iriri and Aporé. It is jaragua trees
and gobo roots and air vines. It is jumping spider monkeys, white-cheeked
muscatels, blueblooded tamarins, gray paladins and Croesus monkeys. It
is leopard birds and green tweeters and a lot of rain. It is....
Uh oh, I smell insulation
burning, so I better turn the spotlight off now before it swings around
and someone gets severely burned. We'll try to get it fixed for
the next issue, but for now, this is Bill Measely. Ciao.
