...consider takeover offers for 45% or more of the company's stock, now selling at $35 but valued by analysts at $45 to $65. Keck, who controls 14.6 million shares, the largest single voting block, will have no part of that. Superior's management claims that Keek's sister is in effect putting a For Sale sign on the company and making it vulnerable to a takeover by a major oil company such as Exxon or Texaco. Day has filed suit seeking to stop Superior from holding its annual meeting in May. That would forestall...
...losses last week with an announcement that shook the industry like a sudden downdraft. After several days of boardroom skirmishing, George E. Keck was bumped as president of United and chief executive officer of UAL, Inc., the line's holding company. Almost as surprising was the choice of Keek's successor: Edward E.

Harry Truman had been unable to use it or give it away, and it had languished in Keek's studio for 15 years. But as a gift from a President it had become eminently acceptable and last week a crowd of 1,500 gathered to crane at its donor...
...seemed to realize that they had work to do, and some fine plays were made on both sides; Princeton, however, determined to keek her advantage, carried the ball behind the line whenever it came near their goal. A good deal of valuable time was thus consumed unprofitably for both sides. Cushing, M. S., now secured a touch-down, but when Captain Cushing attempted to punt the ball out, it was carried by the wind into Princeton's hands. Shortly after, time was called, and the game was Princeton's by one goal, to two touch-downs for Harvard...
