Tuesday, August 24, 1993 Wisconsin Winters Hard On Monkeys
Wisconsin State Journal
(Recall that the monkeys had been at the zoo since 1963. Inside information suggests that the additional winter protection provided was the result of a female researcher, who was studying the monkeys at the zoo, beginning an illicit affair with the primate center director. She was able to cajole him into this and other improvements in the care of the monkeys at the zoo.)
