	Wikinfo \| William Randolph Hearst (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Hearst upset the left-wing in America by being a pro-Nazi in the 1930s (for example by entertaining, in 1933, Mussolini's mistress Margherita Sarfatti during her tour of the US) and a staunch anti-Communist in the 1940s.

	The Diverse Collection of William Randolph Hearst
		The family fortune, amassed by father George Hearst through silver mining and subsequent investments, was inherited by William Randolph Hearst from his mother Phoebe Apperson Hearst on her death in the influenza epidemic of 1919, and it provided the financial backing for the venture.
		Phoebe Hearst was also a collector and connoisseur of art and undoubtedly influenced her son who, in his thirties, began collecting in earnest, poring over auction catalogues, taking extended trips abroad, and spending lavish sums of money.
		Hearst's connection to the printed word was earlier demonstrated when, at the age of 23, he became both publisher and editor of the San Francisco Examiner, owned by his father George Hearst.

		Though Hearst and his wife would have 5 sons between 1904 and 1915 when their twins David and Randolph were born, Hearst was first a largely absent husband, then a philandering one, spending 30 years with his publicly flaunted mistress, actress Marion Davies.
		Hearst established a number of telegraph services, became an early investor in wireless radio, with broadcast stations across the country, and became one of the first pilots in America, purchasing and flying his own aircraft less than a decade after the Wright Brothers made their charter flight at Kittyhawk.
		Hearst's logical next venture in media was motion pictures, though his involvement with the film industry was ultimately influenced by his long love affair with Brooklyn-born actress Marion Davies, whom he had sought out after seeing her 1917 film "Runaway Romany", which she had scripted, starred in, and produced with her brother-in-law.
