The hacking and police bribery scandal cut closer than ever to
Rupert Murdoch and Scotland Yard with the arrest of his former British
newspaper chief and the resignation of London's police commissioner,
raising the possibility that more of the media mogul's top aides could
fall.
Though the former newpaper executive, Rebekah Brooks, and the head
of Scotland Yard, Paul Stephenson, have denied wrongdoing, both
developments are ominous not only for Murdoch's News Corp.I know I

with Murdoch's media empire.It has spurred speculation that Murdoch's
old friend Les Hinton, who resigned Friday as publisher of The Wall

be next.
Until her resignation Friday, Brooks was the defiant chief
executive of News International, Murdoch's British newspaper arm, whose
News of the World tabloid stands accused of hacking into the phones of
celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims. In
