Harvey mused over the bright promises. Was a brand-new convertible right now better, for example, than the guarantee of a future job in the oil industry? It was a tough problem. The most intriguing offers seemed to come from partisans of the University of California at Berkeley. Did Ronnie want to be a writer? All right-someone at Berkeley promised him a job as sportswriter on the Berkeley Gazette. Was he interested in advertising? Fine.

...genius who, according to affectionate legend, can add $1 and $1 and get $11 million. A solid little bundle of energy (5 ft. 6 in., 175 Ibs.) with horn-rimmed glasses, twinkling blue eyes and a putty blob of a nose, Murchison (pronounced Murkison) is the first of a brand-new breed of Texas oilmen. Having made his millions in oil, he is now using them to further the popular Texas ambition of buying up the rest...
