NOTES:

(1) The computation of fully diluted earnings per common share assumes that the
    average number of common shares outstanding during the period is increased
    by the conversion of securities having a dilutive effect, and that net
    income applicable to common stock is increased by dividends and after-tax
    interest on such securities.
    
(2) Earnings per share was calculated for each three month and nine month period
    on a stand-alone basis. On June 22, 1995 the company purchased all 7,894,737
    shares of Common Stock that were issued on that date upon conversion of the
    $92.50 Convertible Preference Stock, and on June 30, 1995 the company
    purchased an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, on
    June 27, 1995 the company called all $149,893,000 of its 6 1/2% Convertible
    Subordinated Debentures due April 15, 2011 for redemption on August 8, 1995.
    Virtually all of the Debentures were converted into an aggregate of
    4,309,070 shares of common stock during the third quarter. As a result of
    all of these transactions, the sum of the earnings per share for the first,
    second and third quarters of 1995 does not equal the earnings per share for
    the first nine months of 1995.
    
    If the conversion of the 6 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures had
    occurred on the first day of each 1995 period presented, primary earnings
    per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995
    would have been $2.44 and $5.57, respectively.
