...from Hollinger International. Back in his native land, Canadian coverage of the trial has illuminated just how large a shadow he still casts on the news-gathering profession. After all, some of the most prominent journalists covering the trial for the Canadian media - including one on the witness stand - owe much of their career success to the erudite man in the dock...
...even bother to bother candidates about substance? Because it is, nominally, what elections are all about. The candidates owe us answers, whether they want to give them or not.

I owe my early career to the largesse of Otis Chandler's Times-Mirror Co. and Alvah Chapman's Knight-Ridder. Believe me, those were swell times. And I watched some great journalism being done-but upstairs those companies were failing to defend their market positions and misunderstanding the future...
