When Publisher William Randolph Hearst at 88 shuffled off his editorial coil, his most fabulous legacy was his California barony-on-the-Pacific (375 sq. mi. in its heyday) known as San Simeon. Through the 14 Hearst newspapers last week, W.R.H.'s sundry heirs and the Hearst Corp.-good taxpayers all-announced that the 120-acre heart of their splendiferous white elephant, worth some $50,000 a year to California in taxes, had been given to the State of California. A condition of the gift, which includes a Moorish castle: it will be dedicated as a "historical monument...

When Beck returned from Europe last month, he at first refused to be interviewed by any newsman except the PI's Douglass Welch-who with P-I Editorial Writer Nard Jones has turned out a Horatio Algerish version of Beck's life struggle. Later, when the Times gleefully quoted Beck's admission...
Causes That Succeed. Searching for the "elegant, modern, beautiful, and cultured," Edna Chase was a shrewd, resourceful scrapper. For years she feuded (but always in discreet modulations) with Publisher William Randolph Hearst, who bought Harper's Bazaar to compete with Vogue in 1913, later wooed away much of her top talent, including her heiress apparent, Carmel Snow. (Although they often appear to be identical twins, Vogue still leads Harper's Bazaar in circulation, 392,507 to 365,023, and Old Rival Snow, now editor in chief, readily admits "Edna Chase really started fashion journalism...
