Sparely built and quiet, Henderson and his Harvarc roommate, Robert Moore, started oui in 1919 with a small import and radio business, then during the Depression gambled $10,000 to buy a faltering Boston investment firm; by taking advantage of low prices, they gobbled up properties that totaled $30 million by 1939-including Boston's Sheraton, which became the namesake of an evergrowing chain of businessmen-oriented hotels that today numbers 153 in the U.S. and abroad...
