Randolph Heast is credited with dragging the US into the Spanish American
War. When an American ship blew up in Havana harbor he claimed that the
Spaniards had blown it up. A recent examination of the evidence around
1970 by the US Navy said that probably the boilers blew up.
Hearst was not a pleasant person. Like most self made millionaires, he
lied, used violence, freely broke the law, and ruined those that disagreed
with him. Oh yes he also supported the Nazis.
