Early this month, Ling announced a plan to take over Greatamerica Corp., the Dallas-based bank, insurance and airline (Braniff) combine controlled by his longtime ally, Troy Post.

Without warning, Glidden was hit with a Greatamerica tender seeking to buy 54% of Glidden's stock for $30 a share, or $107 million all told. Texan Troy V. Post, Greatamerica's president, was not saying why he wanted the comfortably prosperous (1966 sales: $352 million) food, chemical and paint company. But Glidden President William G. Phillips was quick to warn stockholders that "Greatamerica knows that Glidden stock is worth substantially more" than $30. And at week...
