Copenhagen Zoo recently shot and killed a healthy young male
giraffe. Zoo staff have been surprised by the angry public reaction. Try this
little experiment: find, in ‘Word’ form, any of the many pieces about this and

Now read it again.
Further news about Madame Quince’s forthcoming book. It
seems the publisher won’t countenance ‘The Runcible Spoon’ for the title, but
has decreed, with dazzling originality, that it be ‘Quinces’. Fair enough, it ‘Does
what it says on the box’ as they say. I have had the temerity to suggest that ‘The
Quince’ does the same, but with a classier, more definitive ring. Madame Quince
is in fact Jane McMorland Hunter, who also edits poetry anthologies, and her
co-author is Sue Dunster. The publisher is Prospect Books and it should be out
in the Autumn.
Enough about quinces already. Here, I hope, is the missing
second page of issue 3 of the Aloni:
