R. H. Macy Names Chairman: R. H. Macy & Co. said Myron Ullman III will become chairman and chief executive of the company Aug. 1. He has shared the two positions with Mark Handler for a year. The New York-based retailer, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January, 1992, said Handler will become an executive director and will focus on the 135-year-old store chain’s merchandising strategies. Ullman and Handler were named co-chairmen and chief executives last April after Edward Finkelstein, who led Macy’s ill-fated leveraged buyout in 1986, resigned.
