Mergers and end

"The company [MacMillan Inc.] was acquired by the controversial British tycoon Robert Maxwell's Maxwell Communication Corporation [yes, Ghislane's dad] in 1989. Later in 1989, Macmillan acquired Prentice Hall Information from Simon & Schuster and sold Intertec and two other divisions to K-III Communications.

"McGraw-Hill acquired full ownership of Macmillan/McGraw-Hill in 1993 after Maxwell's death."
