...forest-products firm, which will have its headquarters in Diboll, Texas, will be a major U.S. corporation on its own. Last year that part of Time Inc. accounted for $1.1 billion, or 32% of the company's $3.6 billion in revenues. If it had been an independent company, the forest-products operation would have ranked 270 on the FORTUNE 500 list.
