...town." Leader of the new Athenians, by general agreement, is Richardson's old crony, Clinton Williams Murchison, 59, a financial genius who, according to affectionate legend, can add $1 and $1 and get $11 million. A solid little bundle of energy (5 ft. 6 in., 175 Ibs.) with horn-rimmed glasses, twinkling blue eyes and a putty blob of a nose, Murchison (pronounced Murkison) is the first of a brand-new breed of Texas oilmen. Having made his millions in oil, he is now using them to further the popular Texas ambition of buying up the rest...
