Los Angeles Times
About 900 mourners paid tribute to former Los Angeles Times publisher
Otis Chandler on Monday.
Mitchell Landsberg says it was clear to anyone scanning the audience that Chandler meant a lot to a strikingly diverse group of people. "There were newspaper titans and delivery truck drivers, desk jockeys and grease monkeys, starched white shirts and black leather jackets," he writes.
Tom Johnson, another former Times publisher, told the crowd: "'Let's be the best' was the goal that Otis conveyed to his family and those of us who worked for him throughout the years."
