Graham, 57, is the son of the late publishing legend Katharine Graham. Sulzberger, 51, is scion of the family that has run the Times since 1896. The two minded their manners at last week's dinner, offering jokes "about that IHT stuff," as Sulzberger put it, and chatting amiably and at length even when the evening's agenda didn't require that they be together.

As a juvenile, the 17-year-old Malvo is eligible for execution only if he's found guilty in Virginia and Alabama; Maryland and federal statutes forbid...
