Eating habits are certainly changing quickly.

A slender child, you don't know if he's built like this or if he's ill. For a child to have beautiful cheeks and large buttocks is reassuring to parents.

I am sure that unless attitudes change, in 10 or 15 years the poor classes will be obese and the richer will start to react.

…when we removed the body (of his cagemate) to the operation room, the other chimp wept bitterly and was inconsolable for days. The incident made a deep impression on me. I vowed never again to experiment with such sensitive creatures.

Death frames the high wire. But I don't see myself as taking risks. I do all of the preparations that a non-death seeker would do.

I have a fear of water, believe it or not. To put a wire 12 feet over a swimming pool frightens me. I don't like water.
