Battle of the billionaires: Has Murdoch met his match?

Both are billionaire septuagenarians. One is a media mogul turned politician, the other a media mogul with enough political firepower to influence elections.

Both are charming, ruthless warriors who are fighting one another and apparently relish the action. Who will win? My bet is that Rupert Murdoch, unstoppable so far, has finally met his match in Silvio Berlusconi.

Mr. Berlusconi and Mr. Murdoch are embroiled in a riveting media war, one that has triggered outbursts from both men.
