Bruce Sherman, who wants Knight Ridder to put itself up for sale, is described as a dogged researcher who relaxes by reading 10-K reports in the Jacuzzi.
Peter J. Tanous, who once profiled Sherman for a book, tells
Joseph T. Hallinan he's not "not surprised at all" by the money manager's public confrontation with Knight Ridder. "If he feels he is being stonewalled by a recalcitrant management, you have just let loose a pit bull." Hallinan writes: "[Sherman's] move puzzled some analysts, who don't think there are many, if any, buyers for Knight Ridder."
