A Most Unexpected Visitation!

It seems only fitting that the oft-sententious Conrad Black should choose a book launch to make a surprise visit back to Toronto. Quillblog has details and photos of Black at the launch of his friend George Jonas's book Reflections on Islam last night, at Massey College at the University of Toronto.

Black, currently on trial for fraud in Chicago, "noted that the reception he received from the attendees was warmer than he was used to over the past few weeks." Ya don't say. The big question, though, as our tipster asks: "what's a man involved in a huge fraud trial in Chicago doing here in ol' TO?"
