...drama began Monday when James D. Robinson III, Amexco's 43-year-old chairman, walked into the office of Harold McGraw, 61, chairman of McGraw-Hill. Robinson brought with him Amexco President Roger Morley, who is also a McGraw-Hill director; Morley earlier had dropped some hints of Amexco's interest, but they were so subtle that McGraw may have failed to pick them up.
