...Worst Context. In the meantime, on June 17, 1971, McLaren reversed his previous position by proposing a compromise settlement in the ITT case. The proposal was by no means totally favorable to ITT; it permitted the company to retain the highly prized Hartford Fire Insurance Co., though it did require that it get rid of several other subsidiaries, including Canteen Corp. and the fire-protection division of Grinnell. A month later, the Republican National Committee announced its decision to hold its 1972 convention in San Diego-though it did not make any mention at the time of the offer...
...then, that the most direct attempt at some sort of viable context should fail so miserably. "The Great Deception" is simply a bad song, possibly Morrison's first ever.

...loss of Federal funds by "non-cooperative" contractors have not changed, then Mr. Bynoe inaccurately reported to me the policy of his department. That "no institution will actually lose its Federal funds," is not an erroneous report of what Mr. Bynoe told me nor a statement taken out of context, but, perhaps, a statement erroneously made...
