Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., the parent company of London's Sunday Times, agreed to pay $400,000 for British and Commonwealth rights.

...first Koch seemed to have a group of estimable allies: the London Sunday Times, whose parent News Corporation bought (for an estimated $400,000) publication rights to the diaries within much of the British Commonwealth; eminent historians including Hugh Trevor-Roper, a Hitler scholar and Times director, who said he was "satisfied that the documents are authentic"; and Newsweek, which voiced some skepticism but took the find seriously enough to report it in a 13-page cover story...
