Learned Policemen

We read that a police chief in Mexico City has instigated a new regime for his troupe. He was reacting to the popularily held view of the police here as being corrupt, incompetent and lazy. He is asking them to read one book per month and has prepared a list of reccomendations that includes 'The Little Prince' and 'Don Quixote'. One drawback is the fact that 20 per cent of them are illiterate but there is no promotion without a test on the month's reading.

Maybe the Gardai should have 'The Third Policeman' on their precribed list. Any other suggestions?
