After a bitter labor debate, Charlie led the management team that sold the New York Daily News to British press baron Robert Maxwell on March 14, 1991, nearly 72 years after Tribune founded the tabloid. Brumback, at the time of sale, told Maxwell, "We wish you godspeed, good luck and our fondest best wishes in your new role and opportunity." Maxwell died less than a year later.

Conrad Black, Hollinger Inc. chairman, in October 1995 invited Charlie to Hollinger's annual party. The two media moguls and competitors are caught in this photo a la Siskel and Ebert, suggesting to each other better ways to run their businesses.

Charlie cut a lot of ribbons in official capacity, as he did here in 1993 at the opening of the new centralized corporate offices on the 6th floor of Tribune Tower. "The floor conveys the ideas of openness, efficiency, getting things done and teamwork," said Charlie, who - no surprise - designed the floorplan.

As the mariachi band passed by the crowd at the 6th floor opening, Charlie clicked his heels. Witnesses doubted he was attempting the Flamenco.
