For the past decade, it's been like watching a car wreck in slow motion, says David Ignatius. He recalls when times were so good at the Wall Street Journal that reporters joked to each other, "This is too good to last." And they were right. || His take on Rupert Murdoch: People will bemoan what he does to the Journal, no matter what it is. "They will say that he is killing a great newspaper. But the sad part of this story is that 'the empire,' as we reporters once liked to call it, was already dying -- and that so many of its wounds were self-inflicted."
