After all, Kirby, now 71, was already worth at least $250 million through major holdings in Woolworth, I.T. & T., Phillips Petroleum, Manufacturers Hanover Trust and the New York Central Railroad. But Kirby is as stubborn as he is rich. He began a battle to regain control of Alleghany from the men who had wrested it from him, Texas Millionaire Brothers John Murchison, 41, and Clint...
