PART I


Item 1. Business
The Registrant, incorporated in December 1925, serves business, professional
and educational markets around the world with information products and
services. Key markets include finance, business, education, law, construction,
medical and health, computers and communications, aerospace and defense. As a
multimedia publishing and information company, the Registrant employs a broad
range of media, including books, magazines, newsletters, software, on-line data
services, CD-ROMs, facsimile and television broadcasting. Most of the
Registrant's products and services face substantial competition from a variety
of sources.

The Registrant's 15,661 employees are located worldwide. They perform the
vital functions of analyzing the nature of changing demands for information and
of channeling the resources necessary to fill those demands. By virtue of the
numerous copyrights and licensing, trade, and other agreements, which are
essential to such a business, the Registrant is able to collect, compile, and
disseminate this information. Substantially all book manufacturing and
magazine printing is handled through a number of independent contractors. The
Registrant's principal raw material is paper, and the Registrant has assured
sources of supply, at competitive prices, adequate for its business needs.

Descriptions of the company's principal products, broad services and markets,
and significant achievements are hereby incorporated by reference from Exhibit
(13), pages 2 and 3 and pages 7 through 22 (textual material) of the
Registrant's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Information as to Industry Segments
The relative contribution of the industry segments of the Registrant and its
subsidiaries to operating revenue and operating profit and geographic
information for the three years ended December 31, 1993 and the identifiable
assets of each segment at the end of each year, are included in Exhibit (13),
on page 38 and page 39 in the Registrant's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders
and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Impact of Change In Segments
In 1993, the Registrant realigned its segments to combine the Broadcasting
and Information and Publication Services segments and Tower Group International
into one segment, Information and Media Services.

The Registrant's segments are: (1) Information and Media Services, which
includes Broadcasting, all of the company's publications, construction
information products and Tower Group International; (2) Educational and
Professional Publishing, which includes College, professional and legal
publishing and now also includes the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill School Publishing
Company. The Registrant acquired the remaining 50% of the
Macmillan/McGraw-Hill School Publishing Company from its partner in October
1993 and (3) Financial Services, which includes the Standard & Poor's Ratings
Group and all of the Registrant's Financial Information Services.
