...fairly typical consolidation precipitated the hearings. To save the failing Tucson Daily Citizen in 1940, the Arizona Daily Star combined its advertising and business departments with the other paper. Both remained separate editorially. In 1965, the Star chose to sell. Under the 1940 agreement, the now prosperous Citizen had first option: it bought the Star with the explanation that it would resell the paper as soon as a suitable purchaser could be found. At that point, the Justice Department filed suit not only to break up the merger but to nullify the original joint operating agreement as well...

What began as a small, private affair was quickly magnified when the Crime chose to publicize it, and I found myself the living symbol of Harvard snobbery.
