In the next few months Facebook will go public at a rumored valuation of up to $100 billion, one of the most keenly anticipated business events ever. The instant that trading opens, Mark Zuckerberg and a handful of his cofounders and earliest backers will reap billions in new paper wealth. And leaders of the Washington Post Co. will watch, melancholy, knowing that their many pressing financial problems could have been magically solved with the ringing of that bell.
