Heart of Blackness

Baron Black of Crossharbour aka Lord Black aka Conrad Black aka the disgraced former publisher and proprietor of the Daily Torygraph is due to go on trial next month in the United States for various forms of financial malfeasance. Even though he has obviously been busy preparing his defence to he has managed to find the time to file an 11 million USD libel suit against Tom Bowers the author of an unauthorised biography of Lord Black and his wife entitled Conrad and Lady Black: Dancing on the Edge. Lord Black has described the author of the tome as "vindictive, high-handed, contemptuous, sadistic" and "pathologically mendacious". That sounds like a more than adequate description of the good baron himself.
