...Pont has been on a plateau for the past few years. It is at a high altitude, but it is still a plateau." This judgment of the recent growth of the world's largest chemical company comes from Charles Brelsford McCoy, 60, president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. McCoy betrays a hint of nervous candor not often shown at the 167-year-old firm, where fluctuations in corporate fortunes often have been shrugged off as mere ripples in the stream of its history. Lammot du Pont Copeland, now 64, who moved up to board chairman...
...Pont is not likely to change quickly. Though Brel McCoy is the first president not related to the Du Pont family by blood or marriage, he has been nurtured in Du Pont traditions; his father was a director, vice president and member of the executive committee. McCoy, who has spent 37 years with the company, is typically calm, thoughtful, and a believer in moving cautiously.

Then he walked out. They had no organization. They had no curriculum. Completely the opposite of the typical college experience in which you are presented, on arriving, with a series of established slots, and told to decide which one you will wedge yourself into for the next four years. Here the only...
...McCOY TYNER, TIME FOR TYNER (Blue Note). The former Coltrane pianist here plays in a quartet that includes Vibist Bobby Hutcherson. Tyner's composition African Village is a free fall into the heart of rhythms that pound and shift as McCoy and Bobby superimpose eddying patterns. May Street moves along with jaunty strut, shadowed, however, by a tension of eerie chords. As for standard tunes, Tyner does a pensive I Didn't Know What Time It Was and then zooms off in The Surrey with the Fringe...
