Women they are, but none of De Kooning's Venuses are ever likely to be zephyred toward shore on a half shell, though it is just possible some of them might have been pushed off a 40-story building.

...largest contract, for 80% of the field, went to a syndicate made up of Humble, Shell, Mobil, Texaco and Union Oil, which will pay a 95.56% royalty. Pauley Petroleum got 10% with a bid of 98.277%, and Richfield and Standard of California together scooped off the remaining 10%, including one sector on which they will turn back an unprecedented 100%.

To expand foreign operations even more, B.A.S.F. has joined with Shell to build a fertilizer plant in Utrecht and an ammonia plant near Rotterdam, plans a $17.5 million polyethylene plant near Marseille. Last year it bought land in Antwerp for a $50 million factory that will produce fertilizer and synthetic fibers, and moved into Mexico by acquiring a local chemical firm. In the U.S., the company's biggest foreign customer, B.A.S.F...
...Financially pressed, ENI last year was forced to accept ten oil companies as partners in the Trans-Alpine Line-ending forever its dream of monopolizing the Alpine pipelines to squeeze other big oil companies out of Central Europe. In return, it got 20-year commitments from Esso, Shell and British Petroleum to pump 4,000,000 tons of crude oil annually through its Central Europe line...
