Conrad Black, the fallen newspaper media mogul, has written a biography of Richard M. Nixon.
The nearly 1,200-page book is called “Richard M. Nixon: A Life in Full.” It’s set to appear in U.S. bookstores in October - the month before Black’s scheduled sentencing date.
Black, free on $21 million bond while awaiting sentencing for swindling millions from Hollinger International (owner of properties such as the Chicago Sun-Times), was a defendant along with three others in United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, with Lord Black facing 13 counts related to criminal fraud.
On 13 July 2007, a 12-member jury reached a guilty verdict on four charges, including mail fraud and obstruction of justice, but acquitted him of the other nine charges, including wire fraud and racketeering, after 12 days of deliberation. Black faces a maximum penalty of 35 years in prison and a million-dollar fine when he is sentenced. Sentencing is scheduled for 30 November 2007, in Chicago.
