Monet is sent packing
Article Abstract:
It has required extremely detailed planning to return the 79 paintings shown in the Monet exhibition at the Royal Academy in London, England, to their permanent homes or to send them to the place where they are to be exhibited next. Each painting must be examined very carefully before it is removed from the building, and detailed discussions must be held with the couriers from the lending galleries who have arrived to accompany each painting to its destination. The paintings are packed with many layers of insulation and protection.

Hunt for the swamp thing
Article Abstract:
Cable & Wireless Project Manager Adam Davies emphasizes that his colleagues do not regard him as strange for wanting to track down the 'mokele-mbembe,' a monster resembling a brontosaurus said to live in the depths of the Congo swamps. He has already made a preparatory trip to neighbouring Zaire, and rejects the view that the existence of this monster could be merely fantasy. He acknowledges that he and the other members of the team tracking down the monster will face very challenging conditions.

The celebrity catnap mystery
Article Abstract:
Remy, the cat that stars in the Sheba cat food advertisements, has gone missing. This cat's owner, cat breeder Linda Evans, has expressed deep regret at its disappearance, but hopes that one of her other cats will eventually be able to take over the Sheba role. Famous cats and dogs in advertisements are usually in fact several different cats or dogs, and their owners receive only a relatively small payment, with no repeat fees.
