Conrad Black on Today
December 1st, 2007 by Steve Bowbrick
All the historical analogies were long ago used up. Shakespearian? Check. Greek tragedy? Check. Mediaeval Popes? Check. Robber Barons? Check. He must have grown sick of that photo of he and his wife dressed as Cardinal Richelieu and Marie Antoinette (so I’m sure he won’t mind me running it one more time).
I wouldn’t normally pick an interview from Today for Speechification but, blimey, Conrad Black’s good value. This item comes between Black’s conviction and his sentencing so the interview is quite pregnant with dramatic tension. As Black says: “this is not over.” We can only watch this space. (MP3)
