When a reporter caught him at the house last week, John Deferrari gave a quick explanation of his success: "I make good use of my time. I know the other fellow's business better than he does.

For eight days he had been sumptuously dined (but not wined, since Moslem custom forbids it) by Phillips' vice president in charge of public relations. He had been flown on a quick tour of Oklahoma, Texas and California oil fields and refineries.
