...upland bird hunting will be over when the sun sets today; those wanting to hunt birds will have to transfer their attention to the duck marshes. Duck hunting so far this year has been excellent.

They asked that Du Pont be ordered to transfer its 63 million shares (23% worth $2.5 billion) to trustees, who would then distribute 60% on a pro rata basis to Du Pont common stockholders, sell the remaining 40% held by Du Pont holding companies after first offering it to Du Pont's common stockholders. None of the stock would be given or sold to the Du Pont family-controlled Delaware Realty...
