Head of the Saudi office of Petroleum and Mineral Affairs, Tariki is an oil engineer with a master's degree from the University of Texas, is divorced from his American wife. His dedicated Arab nationalism is reportedly deepened by painful memories of having been confused with Mexicans in Texas. In the land of sheiks with Cadillacs and concubines, he is regarded as personally...
