[00:00.00]William loved the ranch 1

[00:02.62]where he spent his summer vacations

[00:04.59]as a youngster and a youth,

[00:06.77]playing in the rugged 2 canyons 3,

[00:08.85]descending the cliffs and camping

[00:11.15]in colorful Arabstyle tents

[00:13.67]in the mountains with his family.

[00:16.84]Phoebe was delighted in exposing

[00:20.12]her darling child to

[00:22.09]the beauties and wonders of

[00:23.95]the world and spared no expense doing so.

[00:27.56]During one of their adventures,

[00:30.19]an 18month tour of

[00:32.38]the historic palaces

[00:34.67]and castles of Europe,

[00:36.42]William began a lifelong

[00:38.28]love of collecting. 

[00:39.70]With his first acquisitions,

[00:42.00]German picture books, he 

[00:44.62]embarked on a 78year session

[00:47.14]of excessive spending. 

[00:50.21]He confessed to a love

[00:53.05]of the finer things in life and,

[00:55.13]as he had a bottomless purse,

[00:57.87]would never deny himself

[00:59.51]anything he wanted.

[01:01.48]In 1887, while William

[01:05.85]was at Harvard University,

[01:07.38] he decided 4 to take over

[01:09.14]the small newspaper, the San Francisco Examiner,

[01:13.18] which his father had accepted

[01:15.15]as payment for a gambling 5 debt

[01:16.46]several years earlier.

[01:18.98]George would have preferred that

[01:21.16]his son be involved in the mining

[01:23.35]and ranching 6 interests, but

[01:25.11]William declined this offer

[01:26.86]and was given ownership

[01:28.39]of the Examiner in March 1887.

[01:30.68]He was determined 7 to

[01:34.52]increase the popularity of the paper

[01:36.92] and acquire the best equipment

[01:38.67] and writers available.

[01:40.64]William’s resolve to succeed

[01:43.27]inspired him to publish juicy tales

[01:46.88]of vice 8 and stories full of drama

[01:49.61]and motivation. In 1895,

[01:53.01]he purchased the New York Morning Journal,

[01:57.49] putting him in direct competition

[01:59.46]with the distinguished 9 Joseph Pulitzer

[02:02.41]and a circulation war began
