A couple weeks, I had the opportunity to attend Uncensored: The Inside Story of Conrad Black with journalist Peter Newman.
These are the chairs from Bustin’s that event host Steve Murphy and Peter sat in. Note the conspicuous tags hanging from the sides. Perhaps these were price tags or reminders to actually return the chairs after the night is over!
Steve asked Peter many specific questions, as he does all the time on TV.
Peter had a lot of interesting things to say. A lot of it was over my head, as I have never researched Conrad Black much. He opened by telling us that he was asked at the airport if anyone put anything in his luggage “without his knowledge”. Seemingly thinking that airport security has gone too far, he pointed out that the best answer should be… “How the heck would I know?!”.
The event was held in the UNB Grand Hall uptown, formerly one of the city’s two uptown Scotiabank branches. As James has found, the safe is still intact.
