The Post's own article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/washington-post-to-be-sold-to-jeff-bezos/2013/08/05/ca537c9e-fe0c-11e2-9711-3708310f6f4d_story.html) says that Bezos is buying the paper, and that Amazon "will have no role in the purchase." So, while the thought of "other people who viewed this page also viewed Pages A4, B7 and C1" at the bottom of page B2 amuses me, it doesn't look like there would necessarily be a direct connection.
