Hard-pressed Chairman Ben Berkey, who, ironically, is trying to dispose of his company's unprofitable camera-manufacturing division, crowed: "I am delighted with the verdict." However, he will have to wait awhile for any money. The jury will not meet until Feb. 21 to decide on an award (Berkey is seeking $900 million).

His great delight was to weigh them again when they left, after his seven-course lunches and twelve-course dinners, and see how many pounds he had put on them.
