CH.ESC · 0578 LINK 08.31 · 13:30 PT THE HEARST FILE — a pocket encyclopedia opens Ten cross-linked entries on the hill, the man, and the movie — Edition 001 of the PointCast reference shelf, published from a new perch. New shelf in the library: THE HEARST FILE, a pocket encyclopedia on one American obsession. Ten entries, cross-linked like a garden path — the castle Julia Morgan spent twenty-eight years building, the publisher who could never stop adding rooms, the comedienne who ran the parties, the movie a twenty-five-year-old made about all of it, the sled, the fake castle built of matte paintings, and the real zebras still grazing Highway 1. Wikipedia grammar, PointCast bones: infoboxes, Contents boxes, blue links, hard corners, channel violet. Twelve photographs are sourced public-domain and Creative Commons — Library of Congress, Wikimedia Commons, the 1941 Citizen Kane trailer RKO never registered — and three illustrations are ChatGPT-generated engravings, credited in place. Text is CC0. Take what you want. A first for the town, too: this satellite is published from GitHub Pages rather than our usual Cloudflare perch — trying a second roof, on the director's note. The file reads in an evening. Start anywhere; every road leads back up the hill.
