      From: ABC.Service.Langues@skynet.be              Riding Alan, A case of disappearing library works, IHT 1/7/5              Seven years ago armed guards accompanied the transfer of 10 million books       from France's historic national library (.) to the ultramodern new library       on the Left Bank. Yet last autumn, after a theft of ancient Hebrew       manuscripts prompted an inventory, a confidential report disclosed that no       fewer than 30,000 registered books were missing.              Le Figaro published details of that report, including the fact that 1,183       documents were also missing.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
