William Randolph Hearst, the celebrated newspaper publisher and the subject of "Citizen Kane," was born this day in 1863. It was his belief that nothing had less value than yesterday's news. However, many smart homemakers disagree. Stacks of old newspapers, as well as magnets, tape and scissors are just some of the must-have items tucked away in the kitchen cabinets and drawers of savvy time-crunched cooks and chefs. Covering kitchen surfaces with sheets of newspaper makes sense. Use scissors to trim sheets to the required size. Tape allows the sheets to protect wall surfaces. Refrigerator-type magnets hold papers to microwaves, coffee makers and toaster ovens. When you're through with cooking, simply scoop up the papers (splatters, spills and all).
