...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.

Together, Baker and Mulligan worked perfectly--the easy, sliver-like sounds of Baker's horn a perfect complement to the fullness of the baritone sax. Not until last night have I heard Brookmeyer do as well with Mulligan as Baker...
