...from their pages-except for an occasional slip, usually followed by an editorial inquiry. Then six months ago Entertainment Editor Ray Loynds of the Hearst Los Angeles Herald-Examiner began the vindication of Welles on his own initiative by finally reviewing Citizen Kane on the movie page.

What he has produced is a fascinating, exhaustive and meticulously impartial study of a man whose true meaning eluded all who knew...

Born in 1955 on a Hearstian impulse-when Bill decided to visit the Kremlin but did not want to go alone-the team demonstrated from the start a built-in capacity for missing the point. Accompanied to Moscow by Conniff and Hearstling Joseph Kingsbury Smith (now publisher of Hearst's New York Journal-American), Bill Hearst suspiciously searched his rooms for hidden mikes, bucked the usual language difficulties (the waitress brought sheep...
