Court case of Mata Velasquez
Judge Lawrence Vilardo: *Mata Velasquez followed all the rules. On the
other hand, the government changed the rules by fiat, applied them
retroactively, and pulled the rug out from under Mata Velasquez and
many like him who tried to do things the right way.*
It is a joy to see a judge stand up for justice and explain that duty
in a way that does bury the importance of the point at stake.
*Now, the New York Civil Liberties Union and other organizations have
sued [the bully's henchmen], seeking to end the practice of
courthouse arrests nationwide.*

Capuchin monkeys keeping pets
In one band of capuchin monkeys, some males seize baby howler monkeys
and carry them around, almost as pets. Alas, they have not come up
with a way to keep the howler babies alive — for instance, food that
can replace their mothers' milk.
This leads me to wonder how (and whether) male capuchin monkeys
normally interact with baby capuchin monkeys. Do they have a paternal
instinct?
