Typically, Goodyear Chairman Russell DeYoung last year jetted 104,000 miles to keep track of the company's business...

But like so many good friends they are also bad friends, out to destroy as much as to enhance each other. Ben secretly ruins Pierce's chance to become chairman of the News. Pierce makes clandestine love to Ben's virginal girl friend...
