I've been totally ignoring the Hollinger scandal, because it's complicated to explain and I have a short attention span. Tina Brown helpfully brings out the saucier bits on Lord Conrad Black and his publishing company Hollinger International today:

"There has been plenty of schadenfreude about the Blacks on both sides of the Atlantic. In his present discontents, Black has been a dangerously refreshing contrast to other besieged CEOs who vanish amid an armada of lawyers. Until David Boies came on board as counsel and shut him down, Black's own impulse was to presume he could fight this battle with his usual weapon: bravado. When Hollinger's stock price went up after he resigned, he offered the unwise comment, 'I made 50 million bucks yesterday. That's a flameout I could get used to.'"
