Mr. Katz, a self-made millionaire and prominent figure in Philadelphia political circles, and his business partner, the cable magnate H.F. Lenfest, had recently won a heated auction for The Inquirer and its affiliated properties. On Tuesday, the two agreed to pay $88 million for the paper, the website Philly.com and The Philadelphia Daily News.
