Often sued for libel, Publisher William Randolph Hearst has never sued in return. Last week he turned the tables, filed a $500,000 libel suit against the magazine Unbelievable, a leftist muckraking quarterly published by the leftist muckraking weekly, Friday. Reason for the suit: Unbelievable's charge that Hearst and his International News Service received a subsidy from the Nazis...
...away a grudge against Smith that he paid back with interest. He never raised his voice against the anti-Catholic bigotry of the 1928 Smith campaign. In 1932 he delivered the California delegation to Franklin Roosevelt and ended all hopes for Smith. McAdoo himself, with the backing of William Randolph Hearst, went to the Senate, where he remained for six years, cackling in the corridors, voting the New Deal way, and waltzing spryly and frequently at Washington nightclubs.

O.'s & Orson Welles's Citizen Kane...
...picture, Orson Welles's first movie (secret script by Orson Welles, who changed it so often on the set that even the actors could not remember the lines), is not, he claims, about William Randolph Hearst. Nevertheless, Lolly Parsons thought she detected some glaring similarities between the picture's plot and the career of her boss. It was a picture lush with the leggy beauty of Publisher Kane's teeming love life, grotesque with his wholesale grabs of Europe's artistic offscourings, memorable for the impressionistic camera work of Photographer Gregg Toland (The Grapes of Wrath...
