One instructor showed me that if you ease into a stall, gently,
letting airspeed drop slowly, you'll stall without that nose-up
attitude.  Just let the airspeed catch up to the back side of the
power curve.

An interesting exercise: at cruise power, pull back on the stick
a bit to enter a climb.  Continue pulling back GRADUALLY, letting
the airspeed bleed (yes, you'll climb).  If y ou keep pulling
back, you'll reach a point where, with cruise (or perhaps, now,
climb or max.) power, you'll be flying level, on the back side
of the power curve.  Note your attitude, the airspeed, and the
control response.  Also note what happens when you pull back on
the stick a bit more.  Great way to get a real feel for all the
graphs and theory!
