발신자는 W.R. HEARST, JR.

William Randolph Hearst Jr., the Pulitzer Prize-winning editor in chief of the Hearst newspapers and an heir to the publishing empire established by his father, died Friday in New York. He was 85.

Hearst, the second of five sons born to William Randolph and Millicent Willson Hearst, found his calling as a reporter and editor. He shared the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting in 1956.

For nearly 40 years he wrote a Sunday editorial column called "Editor's Report." He lobbied for a strong defense, pushed for a modern highway system and journeyed the globe to interview world leaders.

He enjoyed friendships with Hollywood stars like John Wayne and Bing Crosby and the camaraderie of New York nightclub life. With Howard Hughes he shared a passion for airplanes and fast cars.
