Sir Walter Logie Forbes Murdoch   1874 -1970  Uncle of Keith.

Wonder if that is any relation to Forbes magazine that launched during the great depression at the equivilent of Brindle Style street-zine going out at $40.00. I must admit the March edition was awesome.  Yeah so Forbes launched at$1.00 when a paper was normally 5c.

Rupert graduated from Oxford University (England) in 1952, working at Fleet St during holidays.

Ahaha- wish there was a youtube of the cops floggin' the disgruntled printers with batons from horse-back, when the man turned up with his computers in the 1980s and they were dumped.
