Careeredit
Educated at Bowdoin College and then Yale Law School, Ireland had worked at the ITT Corporation before he was appointed CBS president in 1971, making him third in power to Frank Stanton and William S. Paley. His appointment, which made him the likely successor to Stanton in the long run, caused turmoil at CBS since he came from outside the company and was placed ahead of several internal candidates. Shockingly, in 1972, Ireland died of a heart attack less than a year after his appointment and was succeeded by Arthur Taylor who held the job for another four years.
