...acres of Hollywood real estate, he is king. Nine sound stages sound the alert when his footfall is heard; five companies now shooting television series await his Brooklynese benediction. He controls three of TV's top shows: Corner Pyle, Andy Griffith and Dick Van Dyke. I Spy, a rising comedy-adventure show, he owns outright. Yesterday, however, it was a different story.

He intended to add a refinery, but his deal to build one fell through. AGIP ran into increasing competition, began to lose money. ENI Boss Eugenio Cefis, who took over after Mattei died in an airplane crash three years ago, decided...
