...startled and asked him, 'Are you sure?' because I remembered what happened to Bridgeman," Van Vleck said yesterday. Percy W. Bridgeman, who preceded Van Vleck as Hollis Professor, once received an erroneous report of his selection for a Nobel Prize.

An equally happy mix of politics and oil has been overdue for Drake, who will formally take over from ailing Chairman Sir Maurice Bridgeman in January. Last year's closing of the Suez Canal forced shipping costs up; then came the Biafran civil war, which has stopped B.P.'s Nigerian production.
