	BBC NEWS \| Business \| Profile: The Barclay brothers
		But the twin brothers have been showing signs of creeping out of their isolation, by involving themselves in a string of high-profile deals, and even commissioning a joint biography.
		Besides, the two were knighted by the Queen in 2000 for their services to charity, and their charitable foundation is thought to have donated around £40m to worthy causes over the past 13 years.
		Which all means the Barclay brothers have come a long way from their more humble origins in London.

		The Barclays were not about to give up, though, and hung in for nearly four months after the Delaware setback, as rivals fell by the wayside.
		The Barclays are often called "reclusive", though people close to them insist they are gregarious and personable, and merely protective of their privacy.
		The most high profile of the brothers' four children is Sir David's son, Aidan, who acts as an envoy for his father and uncle and as a kind of chief operating officer for their businesses.

	Barclay brothers back off
		London - The British Barclay brothers said on Tuesday that they had withdrawn their offer to buy Hollinger Inc, which controls Hollinger International, the newspaper publishing group controlled by Conrad Black.
		But a ruling by Judge Leo Strine left open the possibility for the Barclays to buy the Daily Telegraph, Britain's best selling broadsheet papar, as long as it is done through the board of Hollinger International rather than Black.
		Black, who renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2001 to become a British peer, testified last week that Hollinger board members were on a vendetta against him and that he was reluctantly seeking a sale because of the precarious financial and legal position of the group.

		There Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay sit in the mock gothic castle that they built on the tiny Channel island of Brecqhou, counting their £650m fortune amid opulence worthy of Roman emperors and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to protect their privacy.

	Clock ticking on Telegraph race; The Barclay brothers look likely to Sunday Herald, The - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Barclay brothers, owners of The Scotsman and The Business, are thought to have won the battle to buy the Telegraph Group from Hollinger International.
		Barring a last-minute mishap it seems likely that the canny Barclay brothers are the preferred bidders for the Hollinger International titles, beating the transatlantic tag-team of equiteers 3i and Veronis Suhler Stevenson.
		The consortium is likely to have shorter-term plans for the group than the Barclays, and although it believes it can achieve cost savings and benefit from the upturning advertising market, it would need fast results to justify a top- dollar price to the 3i shareholders.

	Telegraph sold to Barclay brothers-World-The Times of India
		Under the complex structure of Black's newspaper empire, Hollinger Inc, based in Toronto, had been used by the peer to control Hollinger International, a separate holding company that oversees the newspaper group.
		The deal, which gives the Barclay brothers 73 per cent of the voting rights in Hollinger International, is still dependent on the agreement of other shareholders and will be closely scrutinised by the powerful financial watchdog, the Securities and Exchange Commission, overseeing a separate inquiry into the alleged scandal.
		The selling price secured by the brothers, whose current British newspapers include The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday and The Business, is likely to be viewed by the financial markets as a bargain.

		The Barclay brothers, who are poised to take it over from the right-wing Conrad Black under a £260 million deal, have indicated that the paper would cease to be the "house organ" of the Conservative Party at a time when it desperately needs a high-profile cheer-leader in the national media.
		David Barclay, one of the twin brothers who would be The Daily Telegraph's new owners, has pointedly recalled the pro-Blair stand of another of his newspapers, The Scotsman, in the last general election and said: "We were very happy about that."
		The brothers, who already own The Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday, the Edinburgh Evening News and The Business, have Tory leanings but are known to keep a low profile in sharp contrast to the "hands-on" Lord Black who got even his wife to write a controversial column in The Daily Telegraph.

		I could see how the Barclays, having come so far in life, might not want to defer to the lord of any manor, might want to be seigneurs of their own fief.

		And the agreement between Lord Black and the Barclay brothers includes certain conditions that could permit the brothers to back out if revelations of financial impropriety were discovered at Hollinger Inc.
		It is unclear if or how Hollinger International's board or the SEC could block the transaction because the deal between Lord Black and the Barclay brothers is for Hollinger Inc. and Ravelston, which are both based in Toronto and under the jurisdiction of Canadian regulators.

		But the Commission today said that far from being against the public interest, the deal might benefit consumers because the alternative was likely to have been the closure of the GUS catalogues and the White Arrow delivery business.

		According to the legal team representing the Telegraph owners in France, where libel is considered a criminal act, the action was brought when The Times did not respond to a "droit de rèponse" following publication of the article.
