Chicago Reader
Michael Miner suggests that
Conrad Black take the stand and say: "Because you, the jury, don't know me well, the prosecution has attempted to caricature me as a pompous, arrogant thief. The prosecution would have you believe I was seldom in Chicago because I busied myself hosting extravagant birthday parties for my wife and slipping off to Bora Bora on the corporate jet--indulging myself in ways I suspect would not be unfamiliar to Chicago's distinguished CEOs. But in fact, I am a genuinely busy man."
