In outlining the reasons for
the suspension last July,’
Ziegler said Murdoch was in
a privileged position because
of his income and the at-
tention he receives from
hockey fans,

“With these privileges,
however, come a
corresponding burden of
responsibility,” said Zlegler.

“As the benefits are
received at an early age, so

come to rest upon our young
men. These responsibilities
must include the obligation
