...combine, after two court fights and a bitter exchange of public recriminations. Most often, the best defense is to reach for a friendlier hand. Battling a tender takeover by Texan Troy V. Post's Greatamerica Corp., an insurance-banking-airline combine, Cleveland's chemical and paint-making Glidden Co. last month hurriedly negotiated a merger with SCM Corp. On top of that, Glidden won a temporary court order blocking the tender, withdrawing that suit only after Greatamerica agreed to let Glidden buy back most of its own shares...
...Greatamerica Corp., a Dallas-based insurance and banking combine controlling assets of more than $2 billion, which blandly described its spectacular 1964 Braniff Airways takeover as "a limited departure from our general goals," suddenly departed again-much to the shock of Cleveland's Glidden Co. 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...
When Mrs. Marvin Glidden, 36, gave birth to a son in Los Angeles' U.C.L.A. Medical Center earlier this month, the delivery was perfectly normal in all but one detail: on its way to the birth canal, the baby's head had to push aside a transplanted kidney located on the right side of the mother's pelvic area. Neither mother nor baby was bothered a bit, but that minor deviation from standard procedure marked a major problem that had worried doctors all through Bonnie Glidden's pregnancy...
...everyone's relief, young Mark Glidden turned out to be a normal, robust (7 lbs. 5 oz.) baby. Since he is only the second on record born to a mother taking "immunosuppressive" drugs, doctors are carefully refraining from drawing any fast conclusions. Still, Dr. Kaufman is impressed-not only by Mark's health but by the fact that Bonnie's kidney seemed to perform better than ever while she was pregnant. It is widely assumed that a pregnant woman somehow suppresses some of her rejection mechanism so that she can carry the partially foreign fetus...
...Candidate Kennedy, he also had his uneasy moments. Invading the Minnesota-bordering, Humphrey-leaning, predominantly Protestant Tenth District, Kennedy glad-handed through towns that were called Mellen and Glidden, Park Falls and Montreal. Barreling along at 90 m.p.h. on the outskirts of Ladysmith, the Kennedy motorcade slowed down as it got near a group of cheering nuns and postulants, chilled from waiting at the roadside. Kennedy ordered a halt, hopped out of his car. One postulant wished him a happy St. Patrick's Day, pinned a green ribbon on his lapel. But Kennedy looked uncomfortable when photographers' bulbs...
