After writing yesterday’s entry, I thought about chronicling all the instances of “trick openings” that I find in newspaper articles. I didn’t expect to find another one so soon.

From today’s paper:

In a deal driven at least in part by the hunger to get programming for a cable network, Rupert Murdoch pays an unimaginable price for a family-controlled institution, one steeped in a distinctive set of values, the gold standard in its field.

A familiar story line. But this isn’t another account of Mr. Murdoch’s acquisition last week of The Wall Street Journal and its owner, Dow Jones & Company, from the Bancroft family. Nine years ago, the Fox Entertainment Group, a unit of Mr. Murdoch’s News Corporation, stunned the sports world by buying the Los Angeles Dodgers — The Wall Street Journal of the National League — from the O’Malley family, which had owned the team for decades.
