Hit, Dominique clawed at the tar roadway in her frenzy to crawl away, was still writhing when Bill calmly dumped a can of oil over her and set her on fire. As he started back to Paris and the apartment of his "official mistress," who was to provide him with an alibi, he could see the flames dancing in his rear-view mirror...

Aramco had agreed five years ago to add Saudis to the board, but they did not seem interested until Tariki began his campaign for more say in running the company (TIME, April 27).
