First, part of a building on West 140th Street, in Harlem, fell down. Beds tumbled through the air people slid out of their apartments and onto the ground, three people died, and the Red Cross was there, helping shocked residents find temporary shelter, and food and clothing .Then it was back DP9hvu/85 wy$9QN Pw'3ya8 u-7/4Y)c downtown for that evening's big Fend-raiser, the Eleventh Annual Red Cross Award Dinner Dance, at the Pierre. "That's why I have bad hair tonight," said Christopher Peake , a Red Cross ;[@<

He was now pRj1b^F5y #^v|u3^DD *eytr#0B- >LwZ"IEV in a tuxedo, and actually his hair didn't look so bad, framed by a centerpiece of tulips and jonquils, q8.K-"f(Q 0>m-J .4~n|d>z _}7N,Cx and perhaps improved by subdued lighting from eight crystal chandeliers.
`'5(4j R;f!s/^) gfs?H # Y`3>i,S6\ Definitely not having a bad-Mir night was Elizabeth Dole, the wife of Senator Robert Dole and the president of the American Red Cross. President Dole has chestnut, colored Republican hair, which was softly coifed, and she was wearing a fitted burgundy velvet evening suit ("Someone made it for me! I love velvet!" she exclaimed, in her enthusiastic, Northern Carolina hostess voice) and sparkling drop earrings. Of course, she hadn't been standing in the rain in Harlem; she had just flown up on the three-o'clock shuttle from Washington. Dole is extremely pretty, with round green eyes and a full mouth and a direct personality. She tilts her head attentively when she listens. She was the recipient of the evening's award; previous award winners have included Alice Tully, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan,... and most recently, Brooke Astor. Not exactly a sequence at the end of which you would expect to find Elizabeth Dole, but award givers are famous for having political instincts as well as philanthropic ones.

m1e/F] eW]K~SPd7 thirty-five dinner tables set with groupings of candles and floral centerpieces and Royal Doulton china. American Express was them. So were Bristol-Myers Squibb; Coopers & Lybrand; the New York Times Company; Union Bank of Switzerland; Chemical Bank; New York Life; ...and Price Waterhouse. The actress Arlene Dahl, with her rather red hair and her bearded husband, presided over one table. Otherwise, it was a typical ,faceless , captain-of-industry fund raiser (no models! no stars ! ), of which there seems to be at least one every night in New York City . It was not a society night, but still the evening raised four hundred and thirty thousand dollars. B]q

mg#Vy~ uo1G For laymen ethnology is probably the most interesting of the biological sciences for the very reason that it concerns animals in their normal activities and therefore, if we wish, we can assess the possible dangers and advantages in our own behavioral roots. Ethnology also is interesting methodologically because it combines in new ways very scrupulous field observations with experimentation in laboratories . uC
K!lq- ?KxI|os l3aG#4jj W7NHr5RC The field workers have had some handicaps in winning respect for themselves. For a long PVO9KWv** p71%-nV 5iola}6 FV/xp}nz time they were considered as little better than amateur animal-watchers-- certainly not scientists since their facts were not gained by experimental procedures: they could not conform to the hard-and-fast rule that a problem set up and solved by one scientist must be tested by other scientists, under identical conditions and reaching identical results . Of course many situations in the lives of animals simply cannot be rehearsed and controlled in this way. The fall flocking of wild free birds can't be, or the homing of animals over long distances, or even details of spontaneous family relationships. Since these never can be reproduced in a laboratory, are they then not worth knowing about. 1{ #Xa= |-7<?aw" 6RZ[X[R[} D}
0>x~ The ethnologists who choose field work have got themselves out of this impasse by greatly refining the techniques of observing. At the start of a project all the animals to be studied are live-trapped, marked individually and released. Motion pictures, often in color, provide permanent records of their subsequent activities .
