To force..... Websters New Explorer Thersaurus describes manipulate: To control or play upon by artful, unfair or insidious means. The Synonym Finder says this about manulate: Juggle, falsify, fake, rig, trump up, pack, stack; tamper with, doctor, fiddle with, twiddle with, play with, fix....direct, lead, head, regulate, orientate; turn finesse, conduct, guide, steer; drive, take the wheel, be in the driver;s seat, take the reins; captain, navigate, pilot, be at the helm.
