Conan, my recollection is spot on with yours.
You may recall that both AAL and UAL had high sink-rate, slow engine response accidents in one week (in Nov. 1965) with the 727-100. While not deep-stall events, they certainly increased the pucker factor with respect to T-tail transports.
(By sheer coincidence, that week was the 25th anniversary of another engineering slip-up: the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse - "Galloping Gertie")
