Speaking of The End, 'American literati recoiled in howls of articulate indignation Monday following news that multinational mass media conglomerate Paramount Global has agreed to sell venerable publishing house Simon & Schuster to KKR, described by one critic as "possibly the most vile example of a private equity firm that acquires, eviscerates, and kills off companies for profit."'

(How much love do I have for** "howls of articulate indignation"**? I wrote the guy to thank him for it. Perfection.)
