Two former Litton properties, Van Nostrand Reinhold, professional and reference publishing, and Delmar, vocational publishing, fit Thomson's plans. A third former Litton company, D. Van Nostrand, has been assimilated into Wadsworth, Inc., the college textbook publisher that Thomson acquired in 1978, Daly said.
