...Troquer denied everything except that he was acquainted with Pierre Sorlut. He insisted: "To all this I offer a categorical denial without reserve. Besides, I have no taste for minors." It was all a plot, he cried, to embarrass De Gaulle's Fifth Republic and the Socialist Party, in which Le Troquer has been prominent for 40 years. Abruptly the entire affair went off the record, and the hearings were closed to the press and public...

...paid $1,900,000 for two Syracuse papers after a single telephone call from a broker. Says Newhouse: "He called and said, 'Do you want to buy Syracuse?' And I said, 'Sure.' " Newhouse paid $5,250,000 - cash - for the Portland Oregonian without ever seeing the plant. Newhouse's cash re serves are so plentiful, his acquisitiveness so indefatigable, that last year he bought a $5,000,000 controlling interest in Conde Nast Publications, which publishes Vogue and five other magazines, as a surprise anniversary present for his wife Mitzi...
