...well, I guess Conrad still has a friend at the New York Sun (which he owns a chunk of, I believe)
Given the news from Chicago, where Conrad Black has been convicted on federal charges, I thought it would be a good idea to get together here at the newspaper he helped found. I don't mind saying that it is a sad turn. In my view, Conrad Black is one of the greatest newspapermen of his, or any, time and, in my own career, he has been an inspiring partner and a friend.....When he lost his chairmanship, I gathered a small dinner party for him here in New York. Bill Buckley and a few of the Sun's partners and friends were present. I presented Conrad with a slim, long out-of-print book. The volume was of dispatches from France during World War I, written by Rudyard Kipling and printed in two papers, the Daily Telegraph and The New York Sun. It was to me, and I hope to Conrad, a reminder not only of how large are the events that we cover but how long are the strands of honor.
There have been many such strands in the life, so far, of Conrad Black, even with the defeat he has just suffered. If he does go to prison, I hope he will be able to send us some columns. I don't know whether he will want to or be permitted, but the invitation is out. And to those of you who might handle his copy here at the Sun, I say this: Please treat any of his dispatches as coming from a man who made your newspaper possible and, when you edit his prose and put it into print, remember that the honor is ours.
