...expect to be robbed in Chicago But not in the home of the cod. So I hope that the Cabots and Lowells Will mention the matter to God. wrote Poet Ogden Nash, 62, moved to versify in the Boston Globe as part of a plea to crooks to return at least the family photos from the $7,000 worth of loot stolen from his car in Boston...
