Black back in the news
A report about the former media mogul Conrad Black said his first newspaper title was the Sherbrooke Record, “a small Canadian weekly”. The Record is published five days a week and has never been a weekly. Neither was it Black’s first newspaper. He had already acquired the Eastern Townships Advertiser, a community newspaper in Quebec (US court frees Conrad Black on bail, 20 July, page 20).
Cardinal Richelieu was Louis XIII’s chief minister, but Marie Antoinette was not the wife of that king, as we suggested in an article referring to a photograph of Conrad Black and his wife, Barbara Amiel, wearing fancy dress. Marie Antoinette was the wife of Louis XVI (Do I look rich in this?, 21 July, page 9, G2). Link
