 | | Television and newspaper historians, take note: the date that Australian Press Baron Rupert Murdoch, whose holdings span three continents, set in motion the negotiations that would alter his empire (not to mention his passport) is March 28, 1985. |
 | | Together, the two men harbor an ambitious dream: to become major players in American television and develop their holdings into what amounts to a "fourth network." Alone, Murdoch may have an even grander plan: to build a global television empire linking Europe, America and Australia. |
 | | Both share an aversion to the spotlight, a passion for long working hours and, more to the point, a consuming interest in making their millions beget more millions. |
