Howard Hughes story fuels vast Hughes Tool Empire

Howard Hughes, rarely seen since 1926, oversees a web of operations from Houston with divisions in helicopter manufacturing, Hughes Airwest, hotels, casinos, mining, and real estate, while a 1950s-era autobiography dispute keeps public attention sharp.
