this palatial estate is what media mogul william randolph hearst is perhaps best known for--the hearsttle. once the home of the famous newspaper giant, it is now one of the world's largest tourist attractions. with 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, 19 sitting rooms, a movie theater, and the world's largest private zoo, the castle is almost like a small, self-contained city rather than just one man's humble abode. >> william randolph hearst sat here in the center of the table. he liked to be surrounded by his guests. he sat here so he could talk and understand more about his guests. these were newswcrthy people that sat here around him for his meals. >> but it was the land just below his home that hearst truly cherished, a place referred to simply as "the ranch." for a man who lived his life in the public eye, this was his true oasis, a place to slip into obscurity. >> so he built his castle here at san simeon, but the love of the ranch, the cowboy lifestyle--it was always something that hearst really favored. but william randolph hearst wrote a letter to his mother--once quoting, then, from m

greta has been to the site. >>> what kind of themes did they use in the hearst castle? >>> it was in a spanish study at an entrance way that had a beautiful etruscan mosaic floor and he wanted murals done that would fit with the style and my grandfather also did the designs of many of the ceiling to swell and did quite up to work over four years time there and that was drawn a hollywood to a connection with st. john's the reporter for hearst and she was the one that connected him with hollywood and that's what allowed him to support his family during the depression. >>> will be back in a minute or so with more tales of this fantastic journey that his grandfather took in the arts world and california. >>> welcome back. i'm george your host for mosaic and today we have terry and joe here to talk about the artwork hector who had a varied career and a lot of time in california and in the last segment were talking about this time in hollywood. he seemed to have gone out of hollywood with his catholic faith intact which i think is an amazing thing and not sure if you could do

they showed it at hearst castle in california.t >>> citizen kane is on nearly every list of the finest movies ever made. one critic who hated it, though, was the man who inspired it, william randolph hearst. as lee cowan reports, the movie had a greeting literally in hearst's backyard. >> as the sunset behind the pacific this weekend, the view from the hearst castle must have been as it always was. in fact, as the gates to the mansion were thrown open, you might think it was the 1940s all over again. from the cars to the clothes to drinks by the indoor pool. now, this is what you call a cocktail party. >> it was as if william randolph hearst returned to host the guests himself. the billionaire newspaper tycoon loved sharing his california get away and the life of the party was usually his mistress. actress and former chorus girl, marion davies. their lifestyle was an easy target. soon a hollywood boy wonder named orson welles took aim. the result was citizen kane. >> i don't know how to run a newspaper. i just try everything i can

hearst was designed strength in the face of adversity. that turned out to be enormously valuable when she got to washington. she grew up middle class. the time she was born, the industrial revolution was in full swing. the gap between rich and poor was growing larger and larger, and a huge surge of immigration changed the country. it wasn't really that great a time to be a woman. women didn't have the right to vote. in fact frances perkins was 40-years-old before she had the right to vote. when she went to college only 3% of american women got a college education summit is extraordinary she had the self-confidence to take on the things she did. people were even afraid of women getting high year education back then, fearful they would become intellectuals and injure themselves.

host: and hearst, virginia. harvey. independent. caller: my question involves the fact we are in afghanistan as part of the war on terror, and how much of the 16 people were killed by this individual who was in a mental state, if he is found guilty and he has a mental problem, a penalty of death should not be inflicted on him because he might have been reacting to the fact that these 16 families could of been involved in the death of the three families but were killed as a result of the accidental burning of the koran. guest: perhaps in his mind that was true, but among those that were killed were nine children, and by all of the accounts we have had, the people that were killed were sleeping in their homes when they were attacked. i do think there is no excuse for this kind of action, however, the mental state of the shooter is going to be examined very closely, and as we see in civilian trials, if he is deemed to have done not saying at the time of the killings, that will effect how he is tried. host: a republican in alabama. call
