...Northwest Energy Co., a firm based in Salt Lake City, which had sales last year of $626 million, mostly from a pipeline system supplying seven states. Its peppery chairman, John McMillian, a Texas independent oilman, masterminded the struggle. For his bested competitors, including the Canadian subsidiaries of Gulf, Exxon and Shell, McMillian had no sympathy: "If they had been more sensitive to what was going on, we wouldn't have had a chance...

Instead, the trend is to no-service stations that sell only gas and oil, require customers to fill 'er up themselves, and can be operated by a single cashier...
...States of Mind. But the anticipation of the meeting carries the reader through an otherwise rambling book that includes tales from Mee's boyhood, the story of his fight with polio, his theories on the recent death and inevitable rebirth of the republic, and imagined conversations with Nixon and "Exxon"--an archetypal business executive who informs Mee that present governments are outmoded and that multinational corporations will inevitably rule the world.
