Best Rumor, 1995

'Chronicle' Bought by 'Statesman'

Actually, this was our April Fools' Day spoof for 1994; this year [in 1995], we just closed down for general lack of interest, remember? But it was probably a better premise, anyway, so we're happy to get the belated recognition. (Advance warning: We're already planning big changes for 1996 - a whole new era for the Chronicle.)
