This mixture of iron and clay also shows that these kingdoms will try to strengthen themselves by forming alliances with each other through intermarriage. But they will not hold together, just as iron and clay do not mix.
The Hearst family is the 23rd wealthiest family in the world with a combined $24.5 billion net worth. William Randolph Hearst started the family fortune when he took control of the San Francisco Examiner from his father in 1887. William’s grandson, William Randolph Hearst III, is chairman of the group these days. Its stable of media companies includes stakes in television networks A&E and ESPN.
William Randolph Hearst was born in 1863 in San Francisco to millionaire mining engineer, goldmine owner and U.S. senator George Hearst and his wife Phoebe Apperson Hearst. His mother, as the first woman regent of University of California, Berkeley, funded many anthropological expeditions and founded the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. Hearst attended Harvard where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, and the Lampoon before being expelled for, among other things, sponsoring massive beer parties in Harvard Square.
After his expulsion from Harvard, Hearst was at loose ends. He needed to find a job. In 1887, his father gave him the San Francisco Examiner, which he had won in 1880 as repayment for a gambling debt. Hearst installed top of the line printing equipment, dubbed his newspaper the “Monarch of the Dailies,” and hired the top writers of the time including Mark Twain and Jack London. Hearst published stories about municipal and financial corruption and didn’t skip attacks on companies in which his own family had a stake. Within just a few years, his newspaper was the undisputed leader in the market.
Hearst set his sights on running a large newspaper chain and knew that he had to have a New York City newspaper in order to accomplish this goal. In 1895, with the financial support of his mother, he bought the beleaguered New York Morning Journal. This put him in a head-to-head circulation way with Joseph Pulitzer, owner and publisher of New York World.
Hearst married Millicent Veronica Wilson in 1903. She was a 21-year-old chorus girl whose mother ran a brothel in New York City at the turn of the 20th century. Together Hearst and Millicent had five sons: George Randolph Hearst, William Randolph Hearst, Jr., John Randolph Hearst, and twins Randolph Apperson Hearst and David Wilson Hearst. Randolph Hearst is the father of Patty Hearst, best known for being kidnapped and then joining the Symbionese Liberation Army. Patty is the mother of model Lydia Hearst.
Hearst soon opened newspapers in Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and other cities. By the mid-1920s, he had a nationwide string of 28 newspapers among them the Los Angeles Examiner, Boston American, Chicago Examiner, Washington Herald, and Seattle Post Intelligencer. He also diversified his publishing empire into books and magazines. A number of the magazines he started or acquired are still in circulation today including Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and Town and Country.
Hearst opened the New York Daily Mirror in 1924. It was a racy tabloid imitating the more established New York Daily News. He diversified into radio and entertainment with WINS in New York and King Features Syndicate, which still owns the copyright on a number of comics characters. Hearst also had extensive real estate in New York City, thousands of acres of land in California and Mexico, and timber and mining interests that he inherited from his father.
Hearst owned the biggest media conglomerate in the world during the 1920s and 1930s. The Great Depression hit the Hearst companies hard – especially the newspapers. He had over extended the finances of his companies during expansion and the building of the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. Hearst Corporation faced a court-mandated reorganization in 1937. Hearst was reduced to being merely another employee, subject to the directives of an outside manager. Newspapers and other properties were liquidated, art and antiquities were sold. World War II restored circulation to his newspapers and increased advertising revenues.
In 1948, Hearst became the owner of one of the first television stations in the country, WBAL-TV in Baltimore. Today, the Hearst Corporation division Hearst Television owns 32 television stations in the United States.
When William Randolph Hearst Jr. took over the Hearst Corporation he was able to restore a measure of family control.
According to William Randolph Hearst Sr.’s will, the Hearst Corporation will remain under family control as long as any grandchild that was alive when Sr. died in 1951 is still living. The family business is controlled by a board of 13 trustees, five from the Hearst family and eight Hearst executives. Today, Hearst Sr.’s branch of the family is represented on the trustees by his grandson, William Randolph Hearst III. The other members of the Hearst family on the board today are Anissa Boudjakdji Balson, granddaughter of fifth son, David Wilson Hearst Sr., Lisa Hearst Hagerman, granddaughter of third son, John Randolph Hearst Sr., George Randolph Hearst III, grandson of Hearst’s eldest son, George Randolph Hearst Sr., and publisher of the Albany Times Union, and Virginia Hearst Randt, daughter of late former chairman and fourth son, Randolph Apperson Hearst.

There’s a small village in Italy where 300 of its residents are over 100 years old. For the first time, residents are letting scientists research why their life span is so long.

KELLY MCEVERS, HOST:
Researchers think they might have found the secret to living a long and happy life, and it lies in a southern Italian village along the Mediterranean. It’s called Acciaroli. About a third of the people who live there – roughly 300 – are more than 100 years old.
ALAN MAISEL: Out of those ones that are over 100, we’re not sure exactly, but we think about 20 percent have reached 110 years of age.
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
That’s Dr. Alan Maisel. He’s a cardiologist at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. He’s part of a joint U.S.-Italian research team launching a long-term study of the centenarians of Acciaroli. They want to figure out why so many of them are living so long.
MCEVERS: Maisel has traveled to the village and says people there don’t seem to be trying very hard to stay healthy.
MAISEL: What shocked me is that I don’t see people jogging. I do not see people in active exercise classes. I don’t see them swimming laps in the ocean.
MCEVERS: In fact, he says, many of the elderly residents of Acciaroli are smokers and overweight.
CORNISH: How can that be? Well, Maisel suspects it’s a combination of good genes and good diet.
MAISEL: Everybody ate anchovies. Now, you know, I actually like anchovies on my Caesar salad, but I never thought they would help me live to be 110. But they seem to eat it with every meal.
CORNISH: And another big part of their diet…
MAISEL: Also, every meal they have the plant rosemary in almost everything they cook with. Whatever form they put it in has been shown in scientific studies to reduce cognitive and prevent cognitive dysfunction and some aging.
MCEVERS: Add to this a glass of good, Italian wine and a heavy dash of leisure…
MAISEL: In the evenings, in the late afternoon, they’re all sitting around the cantinas, the restaurants. They’re having some wine, some coffee. They’re relaxed.
CORNISH: Over the next six months, Maisel and his research team will analyze every aspect of the lives of this group collecting blood samples, tracking genealogy and monitoring exercise. As for Maisel, he has a personal goal for his next visit to the village.
MAISEL: I want to find the oldest person, and I want to have a drink with them. And then I want to – as they said in “When Harry Met Sally” – I’ll have what they’re having.
