...Murdoch Sr. had bought STAR from Hong Kong's Richard Li in 1995 for $950 million. A perpetual money loser, it initially looked like News Corp.'s overpriced albatross.

...Kennedy Men, 1901-1963 stops at the assassination of John F. Kennedy ’40. Along the way it mines much of the same territory as Doris Kearns Goodwin’s 1987 The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys. Stick with Goodwin for the goods on patriarch Joseph Kennedy, Sr.; Leamer’s treatment here is so glowing that it veers into cliché.
