Week 5 of the Conrad Black trial is over, and the media reports are slowing down, even though the trial itself has gone into the Dickensian-sweatshop phase of sitting five days a week:
1. From the Chicago Tribune, an abridged Bloomberg report that starts off with an extended quote from Mr. Black himself.
2. Paul Waldie's latest report, webbed by the Globe and Mail, details how CanWest was "outfoxed" in the sale of Hollinger's Canadian properties. It ends with figures implying that the Aspers overpaid.
3. James Adams, also of the Globe, has an advance review of Conrad Black's latest book, the biography Invincible Quest: the Life of Richard Milhous Nixon.
4. The New York Post has its own abridgement of yesterday's Bloomberg report.
5. So does the Chicago Sun-Times, with some additional information from Mary Wisniewski.
6. The Guelph Mercury has a longer review of yesterday's testimony.

Two entries from media blogs focus upon different aspects of the case. First of all, Peter Brieger of the "Black Board" has a profile on Edward Genson that ends with an organizational goof with respect to the last disc containing the questioning of Beth DeMerchant. Secondly, Mark Steyn notes that the chief defendant was spotted off the port bow during the same part of Csr. Genson's cross-examination mentioned by Mr. Brieger's later post.
