Four opinion pieces for your consideration:
1. From The Observer, a proffered exposure of how Conrad Black got his life peerage, from Peter Preston.
2. A personal testimony from a former employee of Black at the Sunday Telegraph, Veronica Lee, posted at the The Observer too. She details the story of how Conrad Black's patronage enabled her to produce an award-winning play.
3. Peter Worthington opines that avoiding envy is very much a problem for Conrad Black: not envy of him - he's too exotic (and too removed from authority) for that reaction to kick in down in Chicago - but general envy of the well-compensated. [See here for another discussion of this issue.]
4. The Australian zine Green Left Online is quite succinct, with a one-paragraph item in their "Loose Cannons" roundup bearing the headline: "Corporate crook to get testimony from war criminal."
Also: the forum-centred legal-information Website, PointofLaw.com, has referenced a list of links to the trial. And, adding a lighter side to the pro-comeuppance coverage, The Australian has webbed a satire, originally from the Times of London, of the travails of Conrad Black.
