Saturday night's bill will also...
Similarly, newspapers, as they become chain owned, are largely content to take the cash and leave crusading to others. It thus becomes harder to fulminate about the power of the press: to defy a trend can be an exereise-of power-(and of responsibility); latching on to a trend is merely doing business...
