Primate film sparks debate at Harvard and Yerkes centers
Harvard philosopher Robert Nozick and MIT and Harvard scientists debated Frederick Wiseman's Primate, filmed at Yerkes Center in Atlanta. The documentary without narration drew anger over animal testing, with Perachio defending the center and Baltimore Lewontin weighing scientific value against morality. The film shows gorilla copulation, artificial insemination, and a monkey dissection end to end, ending with a formaldehyde-drowned brain.

Audubon aims to double members amid energy debate
The National Audubon Society plans to grow to 650,000 members by end of 1977, with a six month drive offering up to 1000 dollars in prizes to chapters that recruit the most members. President Elvis J. Stahr cites inflation, energy concerns, and environmental protection as driving factors. The report also notes a major 90 day member surge during the Arab oil embargo and the Society’s long standing push for energy conservation and reduced pollution. Local weather forecast from Boston cites rain or snow in some regions with clearing skies to the north.
