I’ve only been around Phil Anschutz a few times. My impressions on those occasions was that he was a run-of-the-mill arrogant billionaire. He was used to people courting him and he addressed them condescendingly from the lofty height of his own wealth.

I have not followed Anschutz political leanings in recent years, but if he still is a fairly conservative person, I can see why he closed the Weekly Standard.
No revenue and increasingly leftist writers.
Suicide ?
I suggest it was Mr. Kristol, in the Lounge, with the keyboard. Can you disprove me?
Steve Hayes was leisurely trimming his fingernails with his pocketknife and Bill Kristol ran into it 17 times.
