Observer; Keeping Up With
Date: 27 November 1993

It is astonishing how much there is to keep up with, and how little time there is to do it. A few people -- President Clinton comes to mind -- seem able to keep up with everything, but everybody else has to say, "Sorry, dear Loni, but life is too short." I pick Loni at random as a human metaphor for all those things I am unable to keep up with because of the time shortage. I might just as well have picked Michael Jackson or the Uruguay round of GATT negotiations.

Fieldcrest Cannon Inc. said yesterday that it had completed its tender offer for the Amoskeag Company, its controlling shareholder, and had adopted a "poison pill" aimed at thwarting any hostile takeover effort. Adoption of the shareholder rights plan comes six months after Springs Industries began a bid for both companies. Springs has not said whether it will continue to pursue Fieldcrest. Fieldcrest Cannon, the nation's largest towel maker, had 1992 sales of $1.2 billion. Its brands include Royal Velvet, Cannon Royal Family and St. Marys. More than 90 percent of Amoskeag's 3.44 million common shares outstanding were tendered under the $40-a-share offer that expired on Wednesday, Fieldcrest said. Boston-based Amoskeag held 30 percent of Fieldcrest's common stock and had 80.7 percent of the voting power.

DELTA WOODSIDE IS HIT WITH A $29.1 MILLION VERDICT
Date: 27 November 1993
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Delta Woodside Industries, a textile maker in Greenville, N.C., said yesterday that an Alabama jury had returned a $29.1 million verdict against it on Wednesday evening. The verdict, if upheld, would amount to more than $1 a share based on the company's more than 26 million shares outstanding. Delta Woodside posted earnings of $1.79 million, or 7 cents a share, in the quarter that ended on Oct. 2. The Alabama state court jury found that a former sales representative for Delta Woodside's Duck Head unit was wrongly denied $852,118 in sales commissions, Delta Woodside said. The jury tripled that amount and awarded the salesman, Ken Hoots, and two associates $2.6 million on their breach of contract claim. It also awarded $7 million for mental anguish and $19.5 million in punitive damages, the company said. It said it would seek a reversal.
