Reaction to the death of former New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who died Saturday:
___
"Punch, the old Marine captain who never backed down from a fight, was an absolutely fierce defender of the freedom of the press. His inspired leadership in landmark cases such as New York Times v. Sullivan and the Pentagon Papers helped to expand access to critical information and to prevent government censorship and intimidation." - Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., Sulzberger's son and the current publisher of the Times.
___
"As an editor you knew that if you went to the publisher and sought his support on an issue that you deemed to be of high importance you could pretty much count on getting it. He knew how to back his people. ... As well as a publisher and a colleague he was a good friend. The last years have been extremely difficult with his health problems. He bore them with great courage. I admired him hugely." - Former Times executive editor Joseph Lelyveld.
___
"It was Punch Sulzberger who made the decision to resist the government's effort. In making that decision he set in motion a litigation which not only preserved but protected the First Amendment for generations. It was Punch Sulzberger who decided that this was a case that had to be fought. That decision was one that will be honored among not only journalists but future generations of Americans." - Floyd Abrams, the lawyer who represented the Times in the Pentagon Papers case.
___
"He was a firm believer in the importance of a free and independent press - one that isn't afraid to seek the truth, hold those in power accountable, and tell the stories that need to be told." - President Barack Obama.
___
"Thanks to Arthur Sulzberger's leadership and his ability to not only survive but thrive in the face of challenging industry dynamics, The New York Times has remained a cultural touchstone and a dynamic global enterprise for decades. Arthur was a great New Yorker and a luminary in one of our city's biggest industries, and his loss will be felt by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and relatives as well as the larger New York Times family." - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
___
"It also became increasingly clear that the system of monarchy helped save the New York Times as a great newspaper. Punch made some bad calls as a businessman, along with some great ones, but by far the most important fact about him and his family was that they never wavered in their commitment to great journalism." - Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof.
___
"If you weren't around then, you forget the unbelievable outrage that greeted those sections. But in retrospect it was the right decision both editorially and economically." - Nicholas Lemann, dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, on Sulzberger's move to expand the Times to sections such as Living and Weekend.
___
"Punch Sulzberger was a giant in the industry, a leader who fought to preserve the vital role of a free press in society and championed journalism executed at the highest level." - Associated Press President and CEO Gary Pruitt.
___
"With enormous power and authority he was as humble a person as you could ever meet. ... People with enormous power often dominate a room. He did not. And yet the power and authority was there." - Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch.
___
"He was a very approachable person. He was a little shy. ... You saw him in the elevator and he talked to anybody and everybody." - Gay Talese, former Times reporter and author of "The Kingdom and the Power: Behind the Scenes at The New York Times."
___
"I found him always a gentleman and always ready to at least listen." - Public relations maven Howard Rubenstein, who brought many clients to meet with Sulzberger and Times editors.

"The store will open October-end," Starbucks' Asia-Pacific and China president John Culver said in a statement, without disclosing a specific date.
The firm is entering India in a joint venture with the nation's beverage-to-steel Tata conglomerate, making an initial $78 million investment.
India is primarily a tea-drinking nation, but in recent years lifestyle changes and rising incomes have spawned a booming market for cafes.
Still, India's annual per capita coffee consumption is just 82 grams (three ounces) -- far below that of 6.79 kilograms (15 pounds) in Germany and 5.87 kg in Brazil, according to data from the International Coffee Organisation.
Starbucks said the espresso coffee served in India will be sourced and roasted locally from Tata Coffee, one of the largest coffee plantation firms in the world.
"This is an important part of delivering a locally relevant experience to our customers," Culver said.
Baked goods will be tailored to suit local tastes while lattes, cappuccinos and other drinks will also be on the menu, the statement said.
The Tata-Starbucks venture's chief executive will be Avani Saglani Davda, who has held other senior posts with the Tata group.
Appetite for coffee is growing as the nations sees an explosion of trendy Western-style cafes catering to an increasing number of young professionals.
The new outlet will appear in south Mumbai's Horniman Circle -- a park-like commercial area near banks, residential neighbourhoods and luxury hotels.
The US giant will be competing against Indian-owned Cafe Coffee Day, which dominates the market, and foreign chains such as Britain's Costa Coffee and US rivals Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf that are well established in big Indian cities.
If you rented a computer, you probably should not have been blogging without your shirt on.
On Tuesday, seven computer rental companies agreed to a settlement with the federal government after it was discovered that they were unlawfully capturing photos of customers by using illicit software that controlled a computer?s webcam.
The Federal Trade Commission said?the seven companies involved had worked with?DesignerWare,?a Pennsylvania-based?software maker, to create a program that secretly captured ?webcam pictures of children, partially undressed individuals, and intimate activities at home.? This included people who while engaging in sexual?activities?in their homes were being recorded on their rental computers.
The webcam software, called PC Rental Agent, had been installed on approximately 420,000 computers worldwide, according to the F.T.C., and as of August 2011 it was being used by approximately 1,617 rent-to-own stores in the United States, Canada and Australia.
In a news release issued by the F.T.C.,?Jon Leibowitz, the agency?s chairman, said the software had also captured?consumers? private e-mails, bank account information and medical records. In some instances the software was able to capture Social Security numbers, medical records and doctor?s names. Most disturbing, the webcam captured pictures of children.
The reality that nearly half a million people were so intensely spied upon?without?their knowledge highlighted what some say is a need for more oversight by government?officials?for people who do not own their own computers. Lisa Madigan, the Illinois attorney general, said: ?There is no justification for spying on customers. These tactics are offensive invasions of personal privacy.?
The settlement agreed upon by the F.T.C. will ban the rent-to-own companies from using monitoring software of any kind and prohibit the companies from tracking a user?s location without that person?s knowledge or consent. All of the stores involved are also?prohibited from using any of the information?collected?from the computers to collect outstanding debts.? The companies will also be monitored by the F.T.C. for the next 20 years.
The companies involved in the settlement include: Aspen Way Enterprises; the Watershed Development Corporation, which operates under the names Watershed and Aaron?s Sales & Lease Ownership; Showplace Rent-to-Own; J.A.G. Rents, operating under the name?ColorTyme; B. Stamper Enterprises,?which operated under the name Premier Rental Purchase; and?C.A.L.M. Ventures, which also operates under the public name Premier Rental Purchase.
