Two Lords a Leaping

Last week, we reported on a column in The Times of London comparing the plight of Lord Black to that of former English Tory minister Jonathan Aitken, a convicted criminal and fellow Nixon biographer. It has since been brought to our attention that, in addition to the creepy similarities mentioned in our previous post, Aitken happens to be the grandnephew of the late New Brunswick–born British newspaper baron Max Aitken, a.k.a. Lord Beaverbrook. As another Canadian nobleman, Count Floyd, was given to saying, “That’s scary stuff!"
