IN THE matter of Murdoch, HarperCollins, The Times etc. Why not try saying "No"? Many years ago I was instructed by the proprietors of Penguin to cancel 100 contracts with Penguin authors. I refused. I reckon that people in top positions justify their high salaries by taking difficult and risky positions.
