so for some reason, the star has decided to refer to conrad black as just "black" in many of their headlines. other papers use "conrad black" ... and for good reason ... so far, i've read about:
- black's lawyer attacks trial's first witness
- poor black was duped, trial told on opening
- black in jail? don't count, er lord, on it
- black's big battle starts today
- black jury begins to take shape
- black's unlikely peers
- no sympathetic victims in black case
and my personal favourite: black as a bandit
it really seems reminiscent of the headlines i'm reading in my current novel, native son, about the murder trial of bigger thomas, circa 1930 chicago. funny how the words stay the same - but the meaning can change so much

Conrad Black himself wants to be known as "Mr. Black" during the trial. One of his defense lawyers, Edward Genson, calls him "Conrad" in the courtroom while the trial's running.
