520    Royal, Nebraska, population eighty-one--where the church, 
       high school, and post office each stand abandoned, 
       monuments to a Great Plains town that never flourished. 
       But for nearly twenty years, they had a zoo, seven acres 
       that rose from local peculiarity to key tourist attraction
       to devastating tragedy. And it all began with one man's 
       outsize vision. When Dick Haskin's plans to assist 
       primatologist Dian Fossey in Rwanda were cut short by her 
       murder, Dick's devotion to primates didn't die with her. 
       He returned to his hometown with Reuben, an adolescent 
       chimp, in the bed of a pickup truck and transformed a 
       trailer home into the Midwest Primate Center. As the 
       tourist trade multiplied, so did the inhabitants of what 
       would become Zoo Nebraska, the unlikeliest boon to Royal's
       economy in generations and, eventually, the source of a 
       power struggle that would lead to the tragic implosion of 
       Dick Haskin's dream.
