ELEPHANTS

Since his brush with eternity at the end of an elephant's tusk in late 1972, Coheleach has become a connoisseur of pachyderm moods and mannerisms. Appearances, perhaps, to the contrary, this African bull elephant, under the sun in open country, is not charging. "He's just extremely irritated. He's tossing some dust around and saying, 'All right, you guys, get outta here.' Which I would now do. Immediately. Charging, he'd be coming right at you."
