...Daley: "He never called people in. He waited until both sides asked him to act. Then he got to work." Daley also had clout and trust. A handshake was sufficient to seal an agreement. Because she is new to the scene, Byrne's handshake is not yet enough. With the help of management personnel, she got some trains rolling, and rode on one herself. A Chicago judge then came to her rescue by issuing a permanent injunction against the strike and ordering binding arbitration of the dispute. After four days in the yards, the buses and trains were...
...Minister, Ahmed Zaki Yamani-the cartel failed to agree on any uniform price. Instead, each country will fix the cost of its crude. The cartel also failed to set limits on production, as some of its hawks sorely want to do. In fact, the divisions were sharp enough to raise questions about the future of OPEC. While its members' separate price rises will cause immediate pain to the rest of the world, they also present an opportunity for oil-importing nations to counter OPEC by cutting demand.

...outer continental shelf (OCS), including the Beaufort Sea, range up to 25 billion bbl., or nearly three times the reserves in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay field.

Company officers are extremely wary of divulging details of their business, and slips can prove costly. Example: much of Saudi Arabia's ability to restrain OPEC from driving up prices has depended on whether the Saudis can convincingly threaten to boost production enough to create periodic petroleum gluts. Yet high Aramco officers are among the few people who know the real size of Saudi Arabia's production capacity. Last spring Exxon and Socal divulged to the Justice Department, in its ongoing anti-trust investigation of the oil industry, that Aramco had little spare capacity. That statement helped...
What is wrong with this picture? Not quite enough to work up a lather over Salley's alleged miseries. Because Salley tells her own story, it is impossible to say how seriously Cheever wants her to be taken. The only real point of suspense in the book is a foregone conclusion: when the right job comes along, Salley gets...
