* Black & Decker Corp., for the first time in its 90 years, is without a Decker. Former Chairman and Chief Executive Alonzo G. Decker Jr., son of the co-founder and a director for 60 years, retired, the company said. Decker, who turns 93 on Jan. 18, started working at the world's biggest power-tool maker at 14. He started his full-time job in 1930 after earning an electrical-engineering degree from Cornell University.
