Newsweek/Daily Beast Talks Heating Up

All indications are that talks between Newsweek owner Sidney Harman and The Daily Beast’s Barry Diller are red hot. The Wrap’s Sharon Waxman, citing an “individual close to the talks,” puts the odds of a deal being reached in the next week at 50 percent. Which we guess is another way of saying as hot as talks supposedly are no one still has any idea if this thing is going to happen.
