Conrad Black Receives Open Success Advice...

...from none other than The Donald. Mr. Trump recommends that Mr. Black stay "tough," an important word for Donald Trump. He attributed the dissolution, and early death, of his elder brother Fred Trump, Jr. to a lack of toughness. See his brief chapter on his elder brother in Trump: Surviving at the Top.

[An early CP report, later picked up by other sources, was posted by CBC.ca News. CTV News has the same story posted here. This part of the post was backdated because I missed both reports when they were first posted.]

He still hasn't talked about the trial, though.

There'll be a lot on interesting rhetoric from the lawyers; that's for sure.

Thanks for the comment.

The safest bet on this one is that they were advised to fasten it by their lawyers. If either of them talk before the trial, it can be brought up under cross-examination, if my sketchy (amateur's) legal knowledge is correct. There is a risk that any objection of irrelevancy can be overruled.
