"We ought to aim at the people who are watching on television," he said, "rather than delegates who won't be listening anyhow...
...keeping up the pressure at Atlantic Richfield is Chairman Robert O. Anderson, 51, who says that his aim in the business is to be "not the biggest but the best." An oilman for nearly 30 years, Anderson sold his New Mexico-based Hondo Oil & Gas to Philadelphia's Atlantic Refining Co. in 1963 for $37 million worth of stock and a seat on the board of directors...
