There are a veritable plethora of stories about the late Kerry Packer in the news today. Derek Pringle writes about his lasting legacy in The Telegraph; Christopher Zinn and Mike Selvey provide their obituary at The Guardian; Valerie Lawson writes of Packer and his Father's influence in the Sydney Morning Herald, and Paul Berry details his influence on business in the same paper. The Age have a gallery of his life and lifestyle.
We have a clutch of articles too. Gideon Haigh looks at the man's dynamism and prophecy; a list of tributes, and an article from the December 2002 edition of Wisden Cricket Monthly looks back at the World Series, which Packer formed in the 1970s, and its lasting legacy.
