How do you say Good Knight?

Is it not strange that the Akron Beacon Journal, the flagship of John S. Knight newspapers, and the San Jose Mercury News, the Ridder flagship, were left rudderless by the sale of the Knight Ridder empire?

Sorry. No word on what happens to pensions and health benefits.
