QUOTE
Bob Danzig 

Author/Motivational Speaker

As a child, Bob Danzig never imagined that he would be in the position to help other foster children. Several decades after the caring social worker moving a 12-year-old Bob from his fourth to his fifth foster home told him, “You are worthwhile,” he has found himself repeating those same words to today’s foster children.

Bob grew from a childhood spent in five foster homes to two decades as nationwide head of The Hearst Newspaper Group and vice president of The Hearst Corporation. After graduating from high school with no family support, he took a job as an office boy at his local newspaper, the Albany (N.Y) Times Union. Nineteen years later he became publisher of the Times Union, before heading to the helm of The Hearst Newspaper Group.

Now an author and motivational speaker, Bob is also a member of the teaching faculty at the prestigious New School University and the guiding hand of The Hearst Management Institute. His goal is to be an instrument for renewed affirmation that every single person is worthwhile.

A civic leader, Bob has served on boards of directors of Albany Medical College, Siena College, Russell Sage College, St. Peter’s Hospital, Sunnyview Hospital, Albany Institute of History and Art, and Caldwell College, and on the executive committee of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. In addition to graduating magna cum laude from Siena College, he received the college’s Outstanding Alumni Award, as well as an honorary Ph.D. Bob was also recognized as a Knight of Malta.

As an industry leader, Bob has served the Newspaper Association of America, Newspaper Advertising Bureau, New Directions for News and the American Press Institute, and has earned industry-wide respect for his innovative marketing leadership. Bob was also awarded one of 12 professional journalism fellowships at Stanford University, the only business executive ever to be accepted into this program. He now serves on its board.

Bob has set out to touch the spirits of foster children, caregivers, and social workers nationwide by sharing the messages of his two books and demonstrating how kind words and affirmations of others can influence the lives of those in the foster care community. His books are gifted to the foster care community and his net royalties from traditional book sales are donated to a charity he and his wife developed to offer college scholarships to foster children. Bob says:

“Children in foster care often drift through life because there is no force to offer encouragement or guidance with grades, special interests, homework, and so on. Many of these children have all of their intellectual and emotional energy focused on not being pushed away from yet another foster family, leaving little energy to tap into and develop the potential of their lives.”

RAYMOND J. PETERSEN, TRUSTEE OF THE HEARST FAMILY TRUST, BOARD MEMBER OF HEARST CORPORATION & LONG-TIME HEARST MAGAZINES EXECUTIVE, DEAD AT 88
NEW YORK, July 13, 2007—Raymond J. Petersen, a trustee of The Hearst Family Trust and a member of the Board of Directors of Hearst Corporation, as well as former executive vice president of Hearst Magazines and one of the magazine industry’s most prominent executives, died July 11th in Palm Beach, Fla. He was 88.

In 1963, Petersen was elected a member of Hearst Corporation’s Board of Directors and four years later was appointed senior vice president of Hearst Magazines. In 1969, Petersen was appointed a trustee of The Hearst Family Trust and a director of the Hearst Foundations. Over the years, Petersen was also renowned for his support of numerous charities and religious and civic organizations.

“Ray’s tireless service to Hearst Corporation, the Trust, and the Foundations, as well as to countless charities and other worthy organizations, was an inspiration to us all,” said Victor F. Ganzi, president and CEO of Hearst Corporation. “We will miss him greatly.”

“His diversity of knowledge and work meant a great deal to the Company,” said George R. Hearst, Jr., chairman of the board of Hearst Corporation and president of The Hearst Foundation, Inc. “Speaking on behalf of the Hearst family, we were very fortunate to have had a person of Ray’s stature helping us as a member of our executive team.”

Said Frank A. Bennack, Jr., vice chairman of the board of Hearst Corporation and chairman of Hearst’s executive committee, “Ray was a consummate salesman and his knowledge of the advertising business helped the growth of many Hearst titles and our other businesses. His contribution to the success of Good Housekeeping, from ad salesman to publishing director over five decades is unexcelled. Outside of Hearst, he helped establish the advertising industry’s self-regulatory bodies and was active and effective as a spokesman against government interference in advertising. He was a pioneer on all fronts as well as a great family man.” Bennack was CEO of Hearst during 23 years of Petersen’s tenure there.

Petersen joined Hearst Corporation in 1948 as an advertising salesperson for Good Housekeeping. He became the magazine’s fashion advertising manager, later its advertising director, and in 1960 was named publisher and vice president of Hearst Magazines. In 1973, he was appointed executive vice president of Hearst Magazines. Petersen served with the U.S. Army during World War II and was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal.

Among his numerous civic and charitable activities, Petersen served on the board of governors of St. Vincent’s Hospital, Montclair, N.J., as a member of the advisory board of St. Vincent’s Hospital and Medical Center, Harrison, N.Y., and as a director and member of the executive board of the Boy Scouts, Greater New York Council. He was designated a Knight of Malta, one of the highest honors in the Catholic Church, in 1964 by the late Pope John XXIII.

Petersen also served as a vice president and member of the board of directors of the United Service Organizations (USO), and he served on the chairman’s committee of the United Cerebral Palsy Campaign Fund. He was a member of the boards of directors of the American Friends of the Jerusalem Mental Health Center, the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club, the National Crime Prevention Council, and he was an honorary advisor to the board of directors of the Children of Alcoholics Foundation. He also served as director of the corporate board of Covenant House, and as national chairman for Religion in American Life, which gave him its Charles E. Wilson Award in 1985.

Petersen was also active in the educational sector, having served as a member of the Business Committees of Montclair State College and St. Lawrence University, and as a member of the advisory board of Webber College. He received an honorary Doctor of Journalism degree from St. Joseph’s College in 1966. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan appointed him a commissioner of the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, Washington, D.C.

Petersen served on the boards of directors of several corporations and business institutions, including Supermarkets General, International Capital and Technology Corporation, A.C. Daily Income Fund Inc., Southwest Forest Industries, and Knox Lumber Company. He served on the board of governors of the Academy of Food Marketing of St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia, and on the board of trustees of the Consumer Research Institute of the Grocery Manufacturers of America Inc. He was also a director of the Executive Committee of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, and later was named vice chairman of its board of directors.

Among his many activities within the advertising industry, Petersen served as a director of the Brand Names Foundation, the Magazine Advertising Bureau, and the Coty Awards Committee. He was an honorary director of the New York Advertising Club, a member of the Advertising Council's Magazine Committee, a member of the Public Service Advisory Committee of the Communications Industries Council, and chairman of the national Advertising Review Council. He was named chairman of the American Advertising Federation in 1978. In 1986, he was elected to the Advertising Hall of Fame, which is administered by the American Advertising Federation, and was inducted in 1987.

Henry Robinson Luce - Creator of Time-Life Magazine Empire; Media Mogul; Skull and Bonesman
user posted imageuser posted imageuser posted image






QUOTE
Henry Robinson Luce (April 3, 1898 – February 28, 1967) was an influential American publisher.

Biography

Luce (pronounced like "loose") was born in Dengzhou, China, the son of a Presbyterian missionary and educated in various boarding schools in China and England. At 10, he was sent to the British China Inland Mission Chefoo School, a boarding school at Yantai on the Shandong coast and at 14, he traveled to Europe alone. He first arrived in the U.S. at the age of 15 to attend the Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. Luce split his time between waiting tables after school and editing for the Hotchkiss Literary Monthly, holding the position of editor-in-chief. He later graduated from Yale University in 1920, where he was a member of Skull and Bones.

Luce first met Briton Hadden at Hotchkiss while the latter was editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and Luce worked as an assistant managing editor. The two continued to work together at Yale, where Hadden was chairman and Luce was managing editor of the Yale Daily News.

Luce recalled his relationship with Hadden: "Somehow, despite the greatest differences in temperaments and even in interests, somehow we had to work together. We were an organization. At the center of our lives — our job, our function — at that point everything we had belonged to each other."

After being voted “most brilliant” of his class at Yale, he parted ways with Hadden to embark on history studies at Oxford University for a year and worked as a cub reporter for the Chicago Daily News after his return. In December 1921, Luce joined Hadden at The Baltimore News.

Nightly discussions of the concept of a newsmagazine led the two, both age 23, to quit their jobs in 1922. Later that same year the two formed Time Inc. Having raised $86,000 of a $100,000 goal, the first issue of Time was published on March 3, 1923. Luce served as business manager while Hadden was editor-in-chief. Luce and Hadden annually alternated year-to-year the titles of president and secretary-treasurer. Upon Hadden's sudden death in 1929, Luce assumed Hadden's position.

Luce launched the business magazine Fortune in February of 1930 and founded the pictorial Life magazine in 1936, and launched House & Home in 1952 and Sports Illustrated in 1954. He also produced The March of Time for radio and cinema. By the mid 1960s, Time Inc. was the largest and most prestigious magazine publisher in the world. (Dwight Macdonald, a somewhat reluctant employee at Fortune during the 1930s, referred to him as "Il Luce".)

During his life, Luce supported many programs like Save the Children Federation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and United Service to China, Inc.

Luce, who remained editor-in-chief of all his publications until 1964, was an influential member of the Republican Party. Holding anti-communist sentiments, he was an instrumental figure behind the so-called "China Lobby," and played a large role in steering American foreign policy and popular sentiment in favor of Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Soong Mei-ling. Once ambitious to become Secretary of State in a Republican administration, Luce penned a famous article in Life magazine in 1941, called "The American Century," which defined the role of American foreign policy for the remainder of the 20th century (and perhaps beyond).

Luce had two children — Peter Paul and Henry Luce III — with his first wife, Lila Hotz. He married his second wife, Clare Boothe Luce in 1935. He died in Phoenix, Arizona in 1967. At his death he was said to be worth $100 million in Time Inc. stock. Most of his fortune went to the Henry Luce Foundation.

According to the Henry Luce foundation, Henry Luce III died September 8, 2005, age 80, on Fishers Island, New York, of cardiac arrest.

Henry R. Luce, Creator of Time-Life Magazine Empire, Dies in Phoenix at 68
by ALDEN WHITMAN

A man of missionary zeal and limitless curiosity, Henry Robinson Luce deeply influenced American journalism between 1923, when he and the late Briton Hadden founded Time The Weekly Newsmagazine, and 1964, when he retired as head of one of the world's largest and richest publishing empires.
[...]
He was a stanch Republican, a defender of big business and free enterprise, a foe of big labor, a steadfast supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, an advocate of aggressive opposition to world Communism. He was also an Anglophile, but he believed that "the 20th century must be to a significant degree the American century."







QUOTE
His mother was Elizabeth Root, from a family that had earlier intermarried with the Spencers and Pomeroys. Born in Shantung Province, China, in Presbyterian mission house. Attended Chefoo School, Chefoo [Yantai], China from 1908-1912. Attended St. Alban's School north of London, England 1912-1913. Attended Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Conn. 1913-1916. B.A., Yale University in 1920 where he was introduced into Skull & Bones. Student at Oxford University in England 1920-1921. Reporter for the Chicago Daily News and Baltimore Sun 1921-1922. Cofounded Time with Briton Hadden (Skull & Bones 1920) in 1923 with the help of J.P. Morgan partners Thomas Lamont and Dwight Morrow. Harvey Firestone, E. Roland Harriman, and various members of the Harkness family were other funders of his early media empire. Married to Lila Holz 1923-1935. Founded Fortune in 1930. Editor-in-chief, Time Publications 1930-1938. First “March of Time” radio program in 1931. First “March of Time” newsreel in 1935. Married Clare Boothe Luce, a Dame of Malta, in 1935. Founded Life in 1936. Editorial director, Time, inc. 1938. Organizer of United China Relief in 1940. Initiated the Commission on Freedom of the Press in 1944. Awarded the Order of Auspicious Star (China) in 1947. Founded House and Home in 1952. Founded Sports Illustrated in 1954. Influential member of the Republican Party. Member of the Atlantic Union. Luce was a strong opponent of Fidel Castro and his revolutionary government in Cuba. This included the funding of Alpha 66 (which was guided by the CIA). In 1962 and 1963 Alpha 66 launched several raids on Cuba which included attacks on port installations and foreign shipping. When Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963, Luce's Life Magazine purchased the Zapruder Film for $150,000. Soon after the assassination they also successfully negotiated with Marina Oswald the exclusive rights to her story. This story never appeared in print, but in an interview she gave to the Ladies Home Journal in September 1988 she argued: "I believe he worked for the American government... He was taught the Russian language when he was in the military. Do you think that is usual, that an ordinary soldier is taught Russian? Also, he got in and out of Russia quite easily, and he got me out quite easily." Luce published individual frames of Zapruder's film but did not allow the film to be screened in its entirety. It was shown to the public in March 1975 which convinced many that the fatal head shot come from the Grassy Knoll (because of Kennedy's violent backward and leftward movement while the bullet is supposed to have come from the back). Writers such as Noel Twyman, David Lifton, Jack White, John Costella and David Mantik have claimed that the Zapruder Film has been tampered with. Retired from Time/Life in 1964.

QUOTE
A Catholic Agenda

Among the chief agents of the papacy are the Knights of Malta. It was two very powerful Knights of Malta, William Randolph Hearst and Henry Luce that made “Billy Graham” a household name. Hearst was the founder and president of a newspaper empire, and was openly known as a liar and manipulator of information.  Perhaps the most notorious example of his dishonesty comes from the story of a reporter who was sent to cover a war story.  “When the reporter cabled back that there was no war in progress and that he was ready to come home, Hearst reportedly wired back, ‘Please remain. You supply the pictures, and I'll supply the war.’”1 The term “yellow journalism” was originally coined to describe his journalistic practices.  This same Hearst ordered his editors to “Puff Graham,” something that Graham himself acknowledged.  In a later on-camera interview, the famous evangelist appeared bewildered when describing how certain reporters had told him, “You’ve just been kissed by William Randolph Hearst.”  Meanwhile, Henry Luce was the founder of TIME, LIFE, and Fortune magazines, not to mention Sports Illustrated, who in 1961 was called “the giant of twentieth-century American journalism …” by Current Biography.  He was also a Yale graduate, and member of the Skull & Bones Society.  Henry Luce had articles specifically written about Billy Graham, and put him on the cover of TIME magazine in 1954. The rest, as we know, is history.

It was Luce, along with Hearst who are said to be most influential in making Graham the chief spokesman of Protestant Christianity.  This is odd when one considers that both Hearst and Luce were members of a devout Catholic order that openly declares its purpose is “service to … the Holy Father (i.e. the pope).”2 Was it their intent to create a kind of “Protestant Pope” to guide the beliefs of non-Catholics?  Whether they intended this or not, that is exactly what Billy Graham would become.







QUOTE
"In 1949 [two Roman Catholic Knights of Malta] William Randolph Hearst, head of a large publishing empire, and Henry Luce, chief of another, Time, Inc., were both worried about Communism and the growth of liberalism in the United States. . . Billy Graham, an obscure evangelist [opened his poorly attended Crusade for Christ tent meetings in Los Angeles. . . in the same week Russia tested its first atomic bomb. This fresh menace gave Graham his text: "Communism is inspired and directed by the Devil himself, who has declared war against Almighty God. Did you know that the Communists are more rampant in Los Angeles than any other city in America?"]. Hearst and Luce interviewed the obscure preacher and decided he was worthy of their support. Billy Graham became an almost instantaneous national and, later, international figure preaching anti-Communism. In late 1949, Hearst sent a telegram to all Hearst editors: "Puff Graham." The editors did — in Hearst newspapers, magazines, movies, and newsreels. Within two months Graham was preaching to crowds of 350,000"  (Ben Bagdikian, The Media Monopoly, p. 39 ff). Illuminus Rockefeller was supportive of Graham's New York Crusade, and his Chase-Manhattan Bank helped him out.

Billy Graham understood that a successful mass ministry would require professional salesmanship and he carefully cultivated contacts in the major media with an eye to marketing his product. He does not however, have an understanding of the faith of Jesus Christ. "Notwithstanding his professed calling, it is apparent that Graham worked the corridors of Congress as well as the private rooms of the White House, sometimes overtly, sometimes quietly, in secret letters and private phone calls. And, quite contrary to Time's assertion, it seems that Graham did more to abet segregation than to end it, actively opposing Martin Luther King Jr.'s use of civil disobedience while endorsing aggressive police tactics and punitive laws."

William Randolph Hearst was the founder of the Hearst Corporation.  He is considered a very dominating figure in 20th century communications and one of the leading figures of the Spanish American War period.  During his career in newspapers, magazines, radio and film broadcasting, he changed the face of the way mass media would be seen throughout the world.

BIOGRAPHY:

HearstWilliam Randolph Hearst was born on April 29,1863.  His father was a multi-millionaire miner named George Hearst. His mother was Phoebe Hearst, a school teacher from Missouri.  While Hearst was a boy, his father traveled through the West becoming partners in three of the largest mining discoveries ever recorded in American history:  the Comstock Lode, Homestake Mine in South Dakota and the Anaconda Mine in Montana.  These three discoveries led Hearst to his millions.

As a repayment of a gambling debt, George Hearst in 1880 accepted  a small newspaper called the San Francisco Examiner.  Hearst at this time was a U.S. Senator and had very little interest in the newspaper.  During the mid -1880’s, Hearst’s son William, now a student at Harvard University, wrote to his father demanding to take over  the newspaper.  His father actually preferred William to manage the mining and ranching interests but William refused this suggestion and became the owner of the Examiner on March 7, 1887. Young Hearst showed a lot of versatility and was determined to make the Examiner popular.  He nicknamed the newspaper "The Monarch of the Dailies" and acquired the best equipment and the most talented writers possible.  Hearst then went on to publish exposes of corruption and stories filled drama and inspiration.

In 1895, William Hearst purchased the New York Morning Journal and entered into a head-to-head circulation war with his former mentor, Joseph Pulitzer, owner of the New York World. To increase circulation both started to include articles about the Cuban Insurrection.  Many stories in both newspaper greatly exaggerated their claims to make the stories more sensational. Both Hearst and Pulitzer published images of Spanish troops placing Cubans into concentration camps where they suffered and died from disease and hunger. The term “Yellow Journalism,” which was derived from the name of "The Yellow Kid" comic strip in the Journal, was used to refer to this style of sensationalized newspaper articles. The American public purchased more newspapers because of this form of writing, and this strongly encouraged Hearst and Pulitzer’s newspapers to write more sensationalized stories.  Some of the most sensationalized articles concerned “Butcher Weyler” and his reconcentration policies, and the Cuban Insurrection. Circulation continued to soar as the Journal reported that an American civilian was imprisoned without a trial and stating that no American was safe in Cuba as long as Weyler was in charge. Another major  that enraged the American public was written by one of Hearst's reporters,  Richard Harding Davis,  who came upon the story while on his way back from Cuba.  The reporter learned of the story of Senorita Clemencia Arango.  Arango was forced out of Cuba for helping the rebels, and was supposedly strip-searched by Spanish detectives.  This angered the Victorian ideals of the American public even though the story was found to be in error and that a woman searched Arango and not Spanish male detectives.

Pulitzer (left) and Hearst (right) go to war over the Spanish American War

Hearst played a huge part in arousing the public’s intention to go to war with Spain. This activity reached its zenith after several years of articles concerning the situation in Cuba, Hearst ran a series of articles blaming the Spanish for the sinking of the MAINE with a mine. Hearst’s powerful articles pushed many Americans towards war with Spain. Because of his leading role in inciting the war, Hearst was nicknamed the “Father of Yellow Journalism.”

Hearst made some very intelligent moves as he tried to out-maneuver Pulitzer.  He hired Pulitzer’s writers for more money. Hearst recruited some very talented writers including Ambrose Bierce; Mark Twain; Richard Harding Davis; talented sketch artist Frederic Remington; and the writer of  The Red Badge of Courage, author Stephen Crane. In spite of his success, Hearst still felt he needed to expand his business. Hearst chartered the yacht SYLVIA, fitted it out with offices, printing equipment and a darkroom. The vessel arrived off Cuba even before Maj. Gen. Shafter's Fifth Corps, and Hearst headed up his army of reporters, and took to reporting from the field himself.

In 1903, while on his honeymoon in Europe with his wife Millicent Wilson, Hearst decided to start his magazine, Motor .  This lead on to an international operation known as Hearst Magazines .  Today, Hearst Corp. owns 12 newspapers including the San Francisco Examiner.  Hearst Corp. also owns 25 magazines including Cosmopolitan.

Hearst had similar interests to his father.  Hearst was interested in politics, and elected twice to the U.S. House of Representatives.  His bid to become governor of New York in 1906 failed.  Hearst later expanded his business operations into radio,  the first businessperson to do this.  He later produced movie newsreels, again a first for newspaper publishers.  Hearst developed the King Features Syndicate .  This provided comic strips and text features and is now the largest distributor in the world of its kind.

William Randolph Hearst died in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Aug. 14,1951.  He was 88 years old.  All of his sons followed their father’s glory into media and became very successful.

Super-rich elitist William Randolph Hearst, Catholic Knights of Malta high-up, told his national newspaper chain to "puff" Billy Graham and make him a household name.







QUOTE
"In 1949 [two Roman Catholic Knights of Malta] William Randolph Hearst, head of a large publishing empire, and Henry Luce, chief of another, Time, Inc., were both worried about Communism and the growth of liberalism in the United States. . . Billy Graham, an obscure evangelist [opened his poorly attended Crusade for Christ tent meetings in Los Angeles. . . in the same week Russia tested its first atomic bomb. This fresh menace gave Graham his text: "Communism is inspired and directed by the Devil himself, who has declared war against Almighty God. Did you know that the Communists are more rampant in Los Angeles than any other city in America?"]. Hearst and Luce interviewed the obscure preacher and decided he was worthy of their support. Billy Graham became an almost instantaneous national and, later, international figure preaching anti-Communism. In late 1949, Hearst sent a telegram to all Hearst editors: "Puff Graham." The editors did — in Hearst newspapers, magazines, movies, and newsreels. Within two months Graham was preaching to crowds of 350,000"  (Ben Bagdikian, The Media Monopoly, p. 39 ff). Illuminus Rockefeller was supportive of Graham's New York Crusade, and his Chase-Manhattan Bank helped him out.

Billy Graham understood that a successful mass ministry would require professional salesmanship and he carefully cultivated contacts in the major media with an eye to marketing his product. He does not however, have an understanding of the faith of Jesus Christ. "Notwithstanding his professed calling, it is apparent that Graham worked the corridors of Congress as well as the private rooms of the White House, sometimes overtly, sometimes quietly, in secret letters and private phone calls. And, quite contrary to Time's assertion, it seems that Graham did more to abet segregation than to end it, actively opposing Martin Luther King Jr.'s use of civil disobedience while endorsing aggressive police tactics and punitive laws."

A Catholic Agenda

Among the chief agents of the papacy are the Knights of Malta. It was two very powerful Knights of Malta, William Randolph Hearst and Henry Luce that made “Billy Graham” a household name. Hearst was the founder and president of a newspaper empire, and was openly known as a liar and manipulator of information.  Perhaps the most notorious example of his dishonesty comes from the story of a reporter who was sent to cover a war story.  “When the reporter cabled back that there was no war in progress and that he was ready to come home, Hearst reportedly wired back, ‘Please remain. You supply the pictures, and I'll supply the war.’”1 The term “yellow journalism” was originally coined to describe his journalistic practices.  This same Hearst ordered his editors to “Puff Graham,” something that Graham himself acknowledged.  In a later on-camera interview, the famous evangelist appeared bewildered when describing how certain reporters had told him, “You’ve just been kissed by William Randolph Hearst.”  Meanwhile, Henry Luce was the founder of TIME, LIFE, and Fortune magazines, not to mention Sports Illustrated, who in 1961 was called “the giant of twentieth-century American journalism …” by Current Biography.  He was also a Yale graduate, and member of the Skull & Bones Society.  Henry Luce had articles specifically written about Billy Graham, and put him on the cover of TIME magazine in 1954. The rest, as we know, is history.

It was Luce, along with Hearst who are said to be most influential in making Graham the chief spokesman of Protestant Christianity.  This is odd when one considers that both Hearst and Luce were members of a devout Catholic order that openly declares its purpose is “service to … the Holy Father (i.e. the pope).”2 Was it their intent to create a kind of “Protestant Pope” to guide the beliefs of non-Catholics?  Whether they intended this or not, that is exactly what Billy Graham would become.

Many powerful Knights of Malta (controlled by the Roman Catholic Jesuit Order) have held key positions in America’s mainstream media (e.g., Henry Robinson Luce and William Randolph Hearst),
