THE LAST OF THE TITANS
[SOURCE: Los Angeles Times, AUTHOR: Thomas S. Mulligan]
A look at Viacom Inc. Chairman Sumner M. Redstone and News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch. They are part of a line of autocratic media titans stretching to CNN founder Ted Turner, William S. Paley of CBS, Henry Luce of Time Inc., newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst and such lions of early Hollywood as Louis B. Mayer and Adolph Zukor. Their power derives not just from their dominant stakes in the companies they've built but also from their inclination to use it.
