...this summer, the media speculated frantically over what the move would mean for the venerable newspaper. Was the acquisition one more step towards Murdoch’s eventual media monopoly?

The following month, Mrs. Bush wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal, lamenting the fact that Suu Kyi was spending her 62nd birthday while under house arrest.
