After graduating from Kenyon in 1949, he spent a season doing summer stock in Williams Bay, Wis. The following year he moved to Woodstock, Ill., joined the Woodstock Players, met Actress Jacqueline Witte and married. He had appeared in 17 Players productions by May of 1950, when the news came that his father had died. With Jackie, by then pregnant with their son Scott, he returned to Shaker Heights to become a salesman in the store...
...California offshore oil could turn out to be quite profitable because it will cost less to produce than Alaskan crude. Moreover, refineries and transportation networks are close by, a formidable advantage when one considers that Prudhoe Bay oil from Alaska must be pumped through 800 miles of pipeline and then shipped 1,000 miles by tanker to reach the nearest customers. Says Oil Consultant Walter Levy: "The fact that the oil companies don't have to spend $8 billion for an Alaskan pipeline is a major advantage." Also, not having to contend with bitter Arctic weather will make...
Despite its size, the new find is nearly invisible on a world scale. Should it produce as much as 250,000 bbl. per day (Prudhoe Bay pumps out 1.5 million bbl. daily), the Santa Maria basin would still account for a mere 3% of total U.S. demand. Yet it is part of an encouraging trend that has seen the discovery of new oil in the non-Communist world begin to outstrip consumption. Since 1979, the Western nations have added 112.2 billion bbl. to proven reserves, while they have burned up just 49.4 billion...
...stock. The shares, which at one time sold for 66? (after adjusting for splits), closed last week at $27.

McGee, 50, a former star of the Green Bay Packers, now owns some 150,000 Chi-Chi's shares, worth about $4 million, and is a director of the company. McDermott, 44, was chairman until he resigned in February. At that time he held some 330,000 shares of Chi-Chi's, worth about $6 million...
...American color-field painting. It hovers on the edge of scenic recognition, tricking the viewer into the thought that just one more clue might disclose a particular room or restaurant, a familiar scene. Sometimes it will. The most spectacular painting in the current show, In the Bay of Naples, 1980-82, presents itself as a soft hive of colored blobs, blooming and twinkling in rows, against a dark ground. Lit windows? Strings of restaurant lights? A view from a terrace? Then more specific things appear: a pinkish vertical, another stage flat, turns into a stucco wall; a cobalt patch...
