One always wonders who the world's media mogul Rupert Murdoch calls in case he wants to have an update. I came across this interesting piece in Business week about all the people who are in his phone list.
Many stories are told by many random objects on display at the Newseum—which I was fortunate enough to spend a few hours at yesterday, in advance of its official opening on April 11.
One of them is the phone Rupert Murdoch recently used for a few years, believe it or not, complete with an more-or-less-alphabetized speed dial list. (Judging from the execs listed on it, it looks like the list was last updated in 2005.)

This is interesting to me because the phone is an artifact: not every museum display is about swords and helmets, but also we see teapots, decorations and vases. In this sense, I daresay that the phone itself qualifies as newseum-worthy.
