SEPARATED. Randolph Apperson Hearst, 63, chairman of the board of the Hearst Corporation and president of the San Francisco Examiner; and Catherine Campbell Hearst, 61; after 40 years of marriage, five daughters; in San Francisco. Mrs. Hearst's lawyer attributes the couple's marital difficulties to the kidnaping and jailing of Daughter Patricia. Said he: "They've gone through more anxiety and pain than most American families...
...parents, Randolph Apperson and Catherine Hearst, were notably apolitical and in general stayed aloof from the Burlingame Country Club set around Hillsborough. Since her kidnaping, Randolph, chairman of the Hearst Corp. and editor of the San Francisco Examiner, has devoted himself almost entirely to getting Patty released.

Peace in the Morning. Chief figures in the deal were two dynastic heirs who are close friends but sharp professional rivals: Chronicle Editor Charles de Young Thieriot, 50, and Randolph Apperson Hearst, 50, publisher of both the Examiner and the News-Call Bulletin. For years the possibility of a deal has been discussed fitfully by "Charlie" Thieriot, whose grandfather founded the Chronicle 100 years ago, and "Randy" Hearst, whose father took over the Examiner in 1887 and used it as the foundation for his great empire. An end to the morning rivalry obviously made economic sense. The two Hearst papers...
