...real goal of Mason's reorganization, though, was to get Charter into shape for more oil acquisitions. In 1979 he bought Carey Energy Corp., which was mired in lawsuits and $485 million in debt, from Edward Carey, the brother of New York Governor Hugh Carey. The deal cost Charter only $4 million in cash and pushed it into the ranks of the top 20 oil companies. Last year it accounted for more than 80% of the firm's profit...

...loudest complaints were voiced by Democratic Governor Hugh Carey of New York. He urged Carter and Senator Edward Kennedy to release their delegates to permit a "totally open convention." Democratic Senator Daniel Moynihan of New York agreed. Said he: "To choose between the two of them [Carter and Kennedy] is hardly going to help us put together a ticket that has a chance to win in November." Other Democrats have talked wistfully, but unrealistically, of drafting Vice President Walter Mondale. Democratic Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson of Washington, who was soundly trounced in the 1976 presidential primaries, has claimed that "people...
