...tender-as-possible comment Morison first says "Quincy never regained his popularity after that." But afterwards Morison goes on to state that the College never became a top rate institution until Eliot's presidency in 1869. He also expresses the notion that all students were unsatisfied with the kind of instruction that they were receiving at this time. And he subtly suggests that this may be the cause of the students' revolt. Morison never condemns anyone directly. But in his analysis he agrees in substance with a letter which the Boston Transcript republished in their paper with approving remarks...
Really, sir, do you think the College should be made over in your image? If you despise the flute, should no one study it? Would you deprive the military of the small leavening that its complement of Harvard-educated officers provides, and leave us to the tender mercies of an officer corps wholly derived from West Point, Annapolis, and Colorado Springs...
...semifictional forays into his own Aussie boyhood during the '20s and '30s. Gingerly he launches into an account of life with his upper-class Sydney family: a barrister father, a tennis-playing mother, "unforgettable-character" grandparents, a funny, Christian Science-spouting sister.

Then he uses it in a hyperbolic scene that involves hypnotizing the colonel and forcing him to watch what he believes are the executions of fellow prisoners by grisly means suggested from...

She ranked as one of the best young composers in the business, and her tender ballad, Both Sides Now, was successfully recorded by Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Judy Collins. But she never recorded the song herself, even though she has a fluty, vanilla-fresh voice with a haunting, pastoral quality...
...Tender Offer. One way of easing the load would be for LTV to increase its holdings in J. & L. from 63% to 81%. Under federal law, ownership of at least 80% is necessary before dividends can be freely transferred from one company to another on a tax-free basis. If LTV owned enough J. & L. stock, it would be able to collect about $20 million in dividends-a windfall that would help Ling pay his interest and retire some short-term debt. Thus Ling made a tender offer that expires this week. In exchange for more J. & L. stock...
