While browsing through newspaper Web sites, I found an interesting ferret
article from 1983 in the Christian Science Monitor text archives.  The
article portrays ferrets in a pretty positive light, although there are
several statements that we would now recognize as inaccurate.  There's a
nice description of the ferret dance.  The title of the article is "Furry,
frisky ferrets make frolicking friends."
 
Here is the URL for the article:

I searched the text archives at www.csmonitor.com for "ferret" and got a
long list of articles.
