The advocate's unsatisfactory state is Scorpion's raison d'etre.

Fire Hats & Dinosaurs. The major oil companies are paying dearly to create that difference. Last year, for example, they spent $14 million on 200 million giveaway road maps, more millions for merchandise handed out free or sold at cut rates with the purchase of gasoline. Texaco dealers last year sold 2,000,000 red fire hats with built-in, transistorized loudspeakers for only $3.98, about one-third of the retail price. Sinclair gives away dinosaur-shaped cakes of soap for children, and Pure Oil dealers offer a free car wash with every eight gallons of gasoline, plus wrist watches, movie...
