...journalism heyday in the 1930s, Hearst dictated rat-a-tat headlines and punished political enemies in 18 big-city papers, including the New York Journal-American, the Chicago Herald-American and the Pittsburgh Sun- Telegraph. Today the company publishes 15 dailies, most of them in smaller cities such as Midland, Texas, and Bad Axe, Mich.

...high double fences around his backyard in Santa Clara, Calif. Even so, police acting on a tip were able to spot the 73 marijuana plants growing in the yard--by flying overhead in a chartered plane. Dow Chemical Co. had even more elaborate security precautions at its plant in Midland, Mich. So the Environmental Protection Agency also sent up an airplane, to get pictures as part of an inspection of the site.
