Boulevard Bear

My son has just arrived with the Sunday issue of the "Bildzeitung", which is the most famous and successful of what we call the "boulevard press" papers (popular press).

He has told me that the paper devotes 2 pages to the issue of Libya, half a page to Japan, and 4 whole pages to the death of Knut the Cute, the polar bear star of Berlin Zoo, who was yesterday found floating in a pool.

Deficit omne quod nasciture.
