Many of the nation's leading conservatives considered him to be the man who sustained the Republican Party after its crushing defeat in the 1964 presidential election and the Watergate scandal in 1972.
But Richard was not all business. According to his Wikipedia page...
On April 8, 2006, the Tribune-Review published an article describing a fight between Scaife's estranged wife and three of his servants over a dog that Scaife told the New York Daily News his wife had given him. Both newspapers reported that Scaife’s servants went to the hospital for scrapes and bruises after the fracas. Afterwards, Scaife placed a sign on his lawn: “Wife and dog missing - reward for dog.”
RIP Richard, you guys put out a pretty good rag... :)
