Mr. Hoffman, the Village Voice is NO longer owned by R. Murdoch. Perhaps
it was a year ago that Leonard Stern purchased it (if I recall for $55M).
Stern actually is a multi-millionaire and a steadfast loyal Republican.
His fortune is due to the Harz pet product empire, a business established 
by his grandfather. The Voice apparently is a very profitable publishing 
venture, so Stern, like any true capitalist, forget about his conservative 
ideology and purchased this "liberal" rag.
