Very good twice-yearly journal N+1 was having a fundraiser, and somebody ran off with the three thousand dollar proceeds.

But it wasn’t inebriation that led to the editors’ absentmindedness, Mr. Gessen said. “We’ve been much drunker than this,” he said, “but the party was so nice that we were lulled into a false sense of security. Everybody was wearing jackets; there was classical music.We didn’t think anyone was going to steal our money.”

He added: “Also, our office manager got into a fight with his girlfriend and had to leave the party, and he’s usually the guy who watches the cash box.”
