An "inside baseball" column. Not very interesting.

But, it is the exception from Steyn.

Maybe I should've excerpted it. :-D

I found it moving. It's a tribute to someone who's one of Mark's best friends, and definitely a major influence on him.

It's worth noting that Mark's career has been made by one man, Conrad Black. And it's even more worth noting that the only papers publishing his column are apparently Conrad's papers.

So we should be worried about Mark's future if Black goes down. It takes guts to publish Mark, and Conrad Black is one of the few people in the publishing biz with guts.

Mark might be out of a job if Conrad gets out of the publishing biz :-(.

Very interesting to some - since this has not been covered in the American press. My favorite newspaper for 30 years was the Daily Telegraph, and second was the National Post when it started in Canada.

I had heard that Conrad Black was losing his newspaper empire, but not why or how. I am sad about that, and glad that Steyn wrote this positive column abut Black. Canada had a brief window of conservative opinion in print with the National Post. Sad, that it is gone.

Speak for yourself; I found it absorbing, fascinating, and poignant. I guess you're indifferent to the news business.
