Doggy Reading

Ah! Good. A new collection of essays by Jean Donaldson,
Oh Behave!: Dogs from Pavlov to Premack to Pinker.
Some of the essays, most of which are
just a couple of pages long, may have come from her *Dogs in Canada*
column (which is worth the price of a subscription). OK, yeah, I have a
crush on Donaldson, but really she's very deft with turns of phrase and
has a functional sense of humor -- and she's less jargon-y here than in
some of her other books.

Quotes of the Week
--------------------

My friends are my "estate." Forgive me then the avarice to hoard
them. -- Dickinson, letter

The trouble with being poor is that it takes up all of your time. --
Willem de Kooning

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred
days of sorrow. -- Chinese proverb

I believe I found the missing link between animal and civilized man. It
is us. -- Konrad Lorenz

Permit me, then, my friends, to repeat here what I said two years ago in
the German Bundestag. I come from a people who gave the Ten Commandments
to the world. Time has come to strengthen them by three additional ones,
which we ought to adopt and commit ourselves to: Thou shall not be a
perpetrator; thou shall not be a victim; and thou shall never, but
never, be a bystander. -- Yehuda Bauer

Custom will reconcile people to any atrocity; and fashion will drive
them to acquire any custom. -- Shaw
