...tender offer was the latest in a series by United's aggressive chairman, Harry Gray, who became head of what was then United Aircraft in 1972 and promptly set about diversifying his company away from its dependence on Government orders. Since 1972, United's revenues have more than doubled, to $5.2 billion last year, and earnings have tripled, to $157 million; Government contracts have declined from half the company's business to less than a third. United's 1974 takeover of Essex International, a wire manufacturer, and its 1975 merger with Otis Elevator Co., the world...
Fruitless Overtures. As with his earlier acquisition efforts, Gray's attempt to swallow up Babcock & Wilcox has not left his target's management cheering. The tender-offer announcement, which caught Wall Street by surprise, followed weeks of fruitless overtures by Gray to B&W's chairman, George Zipf.

There remains a widespread tendency among the uptight to protect tender minds by censoring sources of information concerning the magnitude of sexual variation in the world at large, and historic figures in particular. A recent Italian television series on the life of Leonardo DaVinci provides an example of how history is managed. One episode concerned the young DaVinci and his friends being hauled in before the local inquisition. The English narration as seen in America described the case as "heresy," thereby protecting our American sensibilities from the dreadful historic facts of his well known homosexuality...
