...like a father," say his workers. "I hate him," grimaces a competitor. "He is a statesman," purrs Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan. The object of these vastly divergent judgments: wispy Sazo Idemitsu, 76, the Far East's fastest rising oilman and the prime pipeline through which Soviet Russia pumps its oil into the rapidly expanding Japanese market...
