Rupert Murdoch, who believes that all talent is replaceable, according to
Ken Auletta. He writes: "To try to forestall a Murdoch takeover of New York magazine thirty years ago, about forty writers and editors and art directors went on strike. I was at the magazine then, and, with delusions that I was on a diplomatic mission, led a small delegation to visit Murdoch's outside counsel, Howard Squadron. I was certain that, once Murdoch understood that the staff would leave, he would retreat. Squadron listened politely, and replied, 'You don't understand. If you leave, Rupert will replace you like he replaces furniture.'"
