"Professor Leonard Weston's fascination with the natural world was the driving force of his life. Few have done more to illuminate the mating habits of the lesser caped shrew or the social grooming of bearded macaques and middle-school students. It is regrettable that Leonard's curiosity was not tempered with an equal measure of caution.
