Delighted Simon. The merger would also end any chance of a takeover by ABC's largest stockholder, Norton Simon, the West Coast industrialist. Simon, in fact, seems delighted. One reason: he already has a $17 million paper profit on the 9.9% of ABC common stock held by his Hunt Foods and Mc-Call Corp...
