...always come in cash. "This is toy time," says Herbert J. Siegel, president of Chris-Craft. "If a guy can justify an acquisition by getting into the 'leisure time' market, he can have a good time." As Siegel himself undoubtedly does. He was chairman of Baldwin-Montrose Chemical Co. until last January, when, in a prelude to a merger with the big boatbuilding firm, he also took over Chris-Craft's helm...
