    Why does everone think the Chandlers are engrossed with the higher-purpose of this newspaper? In the many historical accounts I've read, most Chandlers were described as "coupon clippers." This refers to their main activity of cashing in dividend checks.

    Other than Otis and a couple heirs, they could give a rat's behind about the higher purpose of this newspaper.

    Otis was a hero. Many of us had a brush with excellence when we crossed paths with him.
