...dialogue is fictional. To some, perhaps, unbelievable. But from the conspiracy trial of the so-called "Chicago Eight" comes evidence that the movie black's suspicions are not all that farfetched. Carl Oilman, 27, a cameraman and sometime reporter for San Diego's KFMB-TV, and Louis Salzberg, 40, a press photographer, each testified to having accepted money from the FBI for work he performed under professional cover as an accredited newsman...

For five years as a wildcatter, Strake drilled dry well after dry well. Then in 1931 he hit oil in Conroe, Texas, in what proved to be the nation's third biggest field. It brought him a fortune estimated at $100 million, much of which he gave to his church-a beneficence that brought him two of the Vatican's highest honors for a layman-the Order of St. Sylvester and the Order of Malta...
