Little reversed his field, abandoned integration, and went in for diversification by buying non-textile companies. Five years ago, he ran into a stone wall of another sort-a stockholder's suit charging that Little had set up a maze of charitable trusts which owned some of Textron's property, and that through them, he had pocketed profits that should actually have gone to Textron. Little settled the suit by paying $600,000 back to Textron. A year ago, he lowered his head at the thickest stone wall of his career: he started a fight to 1) take...

Columbia, Victor's biggest competitor, was caught with its policy down, hastily announced a cut that generally met Victor's new prices (but such high-cost items as the Casals Festival recordings will sell at $4.95 or $5.95). London also cut to Victor's level, except for operas. Both Angel, with its luxurious, factory-sealed albums imported from Britain, and Westminster bravely insisted that...
