A spare, cigar-smoking salesman, Jay took over an ailing company whose aging management-the three previous chiefs were 67, 68 and 66 when they took over-was losing ground to smaller chains. Jay moved A. & P. into long-term leases in suburban shopping centers and launched a sizable renovation and new construction program; he also tried to cut commodity costs with such facilities as the company's own recently opened, $25 million food-processing center in Horseheads...
