About a bear
A news brief reported that a California couple arrived home to find a bear eating a 2lb box of chocolates purloined from their fridge. A sheriff’s sergeant added that the bear had also tried without success to open a bottle of champagne. Our headline – Bear necessity: couple catch chocaholic grizzly, 30 June, page 17 – was wrong, as wild grizzlies have not existed in California for decades. (And our style is chocoholic.) A reader adds: "A grizzly would have no problem opening a bottle of champagne; they can tear a door off a car." Link
