...Eastman Kodak...
Born in Staffordshire, England, the son of the owner of England's first rubber-heel factory, Lieberson started his career by studying classical music after the family moved to the U.S., went to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. He composed everything from a symphony to pieces for a string quartet before deciding that a composer-at least of his caliber-"could not make a living in the U.S." He took a $50-a-week job with Columbia just a few months after CBS bought it. Later, as Director of Masterworks, Lieberson almost single-handed built up Columbia...
...half a dozen companies weighed in with stock splits and higher dividends. Rocket enginemaker Thiokol Chemical Corp., drugmaker Chas.

This season alone, chemical and textilemen are introducing more than a dozen new synthetics. Each one is tailored to a special job. For example, Eastman Kodak's Tennessee Eastman Co. has launched Kodel, which will blend with wool or synthetics to produce wash-and-wear flannels. Dow Chemical Co. has recently brought out Zefran, another wool-like synthetic to be woven into coats, suits, dresses and sweaters...
