Some of the best reporting I have ever read. Heartbreaking situation going on in such an important and historic place.

This is such a great breakdown on this story. Not that I would expect any less from Gruber. Here is my take on what happened:

1. WSJ gets a tip from hospital.
2. WSJ confirms with multiple sources and records from hospital.

4. Apple makes deal for exclusive if WSJ does not source and times release to print per Apple’s direction.
5. Voila.

This is the only thing that makes sense to me.
