...wanted a paper of her own, not to make money (she still draws no salary) but as an outlet for her restless energy. She talked her husband, Harry Frank Guggenheim, of the wealthy copper and nitrate family, into putting up the cash. It cost him, eventually, $750,000.

The Guggenheims are going into radio at Bridgeport, Conn., and some day Alicia would like to surround New York City with Newsdays in Westchester and New Jersey. "There are a few papers here & there," she says with a predatory glint, "that I'd like to compete with...
