Looking Eastward, he mused that there "individual life does not rebel; there is too little of it for rebellion. One soul mingles with another like smoke."

But never since it came out of bankruptcy has it tried to spread eastward again. Similarly, Sinclair (the nation's ninth largest oil company) and Cities Service (tenth) have stayed out of western markets almost entirely on the avowed ground that the costs of pipelining gas and oil over the Rockies would be prohibitive. Along with this lack of direct competition, the Government...
