Reign's End. Detractors lay much of the blame to an aging but not notably mellow Schenley spirit: Chairman Lewis Solon Rosenstiel, 75. Rosenstiel founded the company shortly before repeal in 1933, and remains its dominant shareholder, controlling stock worth some $55 million. Ever contentious, he has for decades feuded with the industry over various marketing practices; more recently, he has spent much of his time in and out of court waging private wars with, among others, his estranged fourth wife, his daughter, one of his own lawyers, and his Greenwich, Conn., neighbors...
...Schenley Industries, Inc. named an able, amiable Canadian, John Mackie, 55, as president, succeeding Lewis S. Rosenstiel, 75, who retains his position as chairman and chief executive officer.

As a result, she was still...

Scileppi argued that the majority's logic would lead inevitably to approval of mailorder Mexican divorces-a not inconceivable possibility, considering the fact that Rosenstiel, in effect, gives New York two divorce laws, one for those who can afford to fly to Mexico, and one for those who cannot...
