In  the RProfDS article RAM noted (again, the URL  is
<http://www.biu.ac.il/JH/Parasha/eng/vayechi/sper.html>), note  the
language (presumably a translation :)) of the "Pachad Yitzchaq"  quote:

<< I have seen some fastidious people who do not bless  *their disciples*
{emphasis mine --MP} with both hands, and say that it  should be done
thus so as not to mix mercy with strict judgment. I,  however, used to
bless those who were married with both hands, one for him  and the other
for his wife, and bachelors with one hand.  >>

Re "bless those who were married with both hands, one for him and the  other
for his wife, and bachelors with one hand" -- This would seem to have  some 
relevance to the question that was recently raised here, whether a man  should 
bless his daughter-in-law?  It seems that he should put his hands on  his 
son's head, and not on his daughter-in-law's head.
