CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS: METROPOLITAN 31.2 FAIRFAX FOLLIES John Fairfax Holdings Ltd and its search for a new chief executive officer – to replace Fred Hilmer who announced last year that he would step down in 2005 – have been in the news constantly for more than a month, especially in the Australian. Tied in with the CEO search has been a report that Fairfax was keen to buy a stake in the Ten Network. Now read on: John Fairfax Holdings Ltd was negotiating secretly to buy a stake of up to $1 billion in the Ten Network before the Howard Government‟s planned changes to media ownership laws, the Australian reported (13 January 2005, p.1).

Little did I know when I chose to research a small Oregon cemetery that I would go back to that cemetery as a graduate student, drawn to the grave of a Chinese man who had been buried as an “Indian Unknown.” My curiosity about that Chinese man grew into additional research on railroad construction and the plight of Chinese-Americans in the late nineteenth century.

The letter led the judge to abort the trial. Becker was retried and found not guilty of a manslaughter charge. Justice Geoffrey Miller criticised the WA Director of Public Prosecutions, Robert Cock, for a lack of evidence to back the case and said the newspaper had been „unwise‟ in publishing the letter on one of the final days of the trial (Australian, 5 October 2007, p.7). 45.1.2 WEST AUSTRALIAN (2): THE FLAG, AND BRIAN BURKE The West Australian had egg on its face again, according to perthnow.com.au, 3 October 2007.
