...company will hang on to American's name "for future use." As part of his drastic, long-range overhaul, President Smith, 47, a onetime journalistic wunderkind on the San Francisco Chronicle, wants to start a newsmagazine.

Under his three-year regime, the company's profitable book division ( Collier's Encyclopedia, the Harvard Classics) is expected to double...

Asked what he will do with the money, the winner said he will give some to organized charities, treat his grandmother to a trip to Montreal, buy his father some high-fidelity phonograph equipment, give his mother a tape recorder, improve his knowledge of finance, buy himself a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. But the newspaper phoned right after the show to tell him that the subscription was free. Keith Funston, president of the New York Stock Exchange, was on hand to give Lenny another present in gratitude for the publicity: $2,500 worth of any listed stock...
