...York dress manufacturer who wildcatted an oil fortune in the Rocky Mountains. The two offer a startling physical contrast: Davis is a 6-ft. 4-in. bear weighing 300 lbs. and fond of enveloping friends in an enormous embrace; Murdoch is trim, 5 in. shorter and circumspect, though cordial, in manner.

LaDonna Holly Padgett is a former Miss Oklahoma and Miss Congeniality well on her way to such titles as Miss Cordial and Miss Bloody Mary. The rub-out of a Mafioso in the mandatory spaghetti joint summons up the sensible suggestion, "You'd think those guys'd learn to eat some other kind of food...
