		Hearst was believed by many to have initiated the Spanish-American War of 1898 to encourage sales of his newspaper.
		Hearst upset the left-wing in America by being a pro-Nazi in the 1930s and a staunch anti-Communist in the 1940s.
		In 1974 Hearst's granddaughter, Patty Hearst, became notorious after she was kidnapped by a left wing group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army.

		In 1887, Hearst persuaded his father, George Hearst, to place him in charge of the San Francisco Examiner, where he experimented profitably with flamboyant pictures, shrieking typography, and earthy, mass-appeal news coverage; the paper remained in Hearst Corporation hands until 2000.
		By the time Hearst had established his supremacy in “penny journalism,” his funds were almost exhausted, but he had gained a foothold for the great newspaper empire he was to erect.
		Hearst served in the House of Representatives (1903–7) but was defeated as candidate for mayor of New York City in 1905 and 1909 and for governor of New York in 1906.

	April 29 Birthdays: William Randolph Hearst
		During his lifetime Hearst established a vast publishing empire that included 18 newspapers in 12 cities and 9 successful magazines.
		Hearst provided aggressive news coverage, bought distinctive talent, enticed employees of other papers from their jobs with higher salaries and greater prestige, and increased the size of his paper while cutting its price to a penny—a move his competitors were forced to follow.
		He served in the House of Representatives (1903–7) but was defeated as candidate for mayor of New York City in 1905 and 1909 and for governor of New York in 1906.
