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...
