about

TATIANA, A SIBERIAN TIGER AT THE SAN FRANCISCO ZOO, OVERLEAPS WALL, KILLS TORMENTOR, DIES IN BLAZE OF GUNFIRE.

An obvious reworking of the great Leonid Kharinotov's Red Army Choir version of Ey Uknem! (The Volga River Boatmen's Song) as applied to the story of Tatiana, gunned down at the SF Zoo.
