Ted Turner, center of attention
The NYT recalls a recent appearance by former AOL/TW Chairman Ted Turner at a New Yorker breakfast in which he told his audience that he had volunteered to report from Iraq for CNN, sang verses of "Don't Fence Me In," and said he "relished the idea of challenging the media mogul Rupert Murdoch, 72, to a fistfight." Murdoch's response: "The last thing Ted needs these days is a licking from me."
