Could Arthur Sulzberger's marital split impact the NY Times?

We presume that he must have a prenup, but who knows?  In any case, we're just wondering if the split (a separation at this point) might spill into the board room if it goes the divorce route or if it will be handled quietly in a civil manner.  You know how messy these little marital tiffs can get, especially when there are big bucks and blocks of stock involved, not to mention, a very long marriage (described below by the NY Observer as "emotionally cool")

ARTHUR Sulzberger Jr. is separated for real. The chairman/CEO of the New York Times Co. was spotted yesterday morning moving into the Phillips Club, a residential hotel on West 66th, where 2-bedroom apartments start at $17,000 per month. Sulzberger - who announced his separation from his wife of 33 years, Gail Gregg, on Saturday - was spotted unloading about 10 suitcases from a large SUV. Gregg remains in the marital abode on West 64th, which was transferred into her name in March, when a Times spokeswoman lamely explained to us it was for "estate-planning purposes."

"estate-planning purposes".  Pretty funny.

The New York Observer had more on the separation a couple of days ago....

Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and his wife of 33 years, Gail Gregg, are separating. In a statement, they said, "We have made the difficult decision to separate after 33 years of marriage. We are fortunate to have the love and support of our two children, other family members and close friends and colleagues. This is a private matter and we will not discuss it further.”

In Alex Jones and Susan Tifft's authoritative account of the family that owns the Times, The Trust, they detail the couple's relationship. They began dating when Pinch was a senior at Tufts and was visiting his mother in Kansas for Thanksgiving 1973 at a house across the street from Ms. Gregg's. They fell in love right away, and moved in together in January 1974. "She was forceful and self-assured--the very strengths he tried to cultivate in himself, though his way of expressing them tended to be cocky and confrontational." Mr. Jones and Ms. Tifft wote.

Their relationship was also emotionally cool:

    Gail's toughness and unswerving belief in her own vision made her something of an authority figure to Arthur Jr. and reinforced his propsensity to be a loner. Like his father, he tended to retreat, hovering slightly out of reach. 'I like Gail, but she's not so mothering or nurturing,' said Cynthia Sulzberger [Pinch's half-sister]. 'I'm sure they love each other, but to me they have a different kind of relationship.'
