...oddly enough, the harder one looks, the blurrier the words become, as in those diplomas by Cartoonist Saul Steinberg. The first third of the book concerns the pother that arises when a sick giraffe kicks a keeper to death and, in the process, as is obligatory these days in symbolic works, emasculates him. In the book's second third, the irascible old men who run the zoo squabble violently over a plan to transport the animals to a game preserve on the Welsh border.

So, probably, were the crooks, who simply turned a key in an iron grille gate, jimmied an inner door, and, in less time than it took to catalogue the loss, cleared the ground-floor walls of the converted 18th century chapel of all but four paintings...
