Izzy Asper’s oceanfront mansion at 102 Canterbury Lane in Palm Beach has been put up for sale by the Asper family. It was there that Mr. Asper approached Conrad Black in 2000 with the idea of buying dozens of Canadian newspapers owned by Lord Black’s Hollinger International Inc. Lord Black agreed and they codenamed the deal “A Canterbury Tale” after the mansion’s address and Chaucer’s famous work.
