...Pont claimed victory, all ten of the most active stocks on the American Stock Exchange were oil and gas firms. Some of the possible acquisition targets for the major energy companies: Pennzoil, Mesa Petroleum, Superior Oil, Marathon Oil, Amerada Hess and Murphy Oil. Texaco, which was an early suitor of Conoco, is reportedly considering a bid for Kerr-McGee, an Oklahoma-based oil company...

(1980 sales: $18.8 billion), became the reluctant target, rather than the proud suitor, in a corporate takeover raid. The predator was none other than Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, U.S. subsidiary of Canadian-based Seagram Co. Ltd., the world's largest liquor distiller, with 1980 global revenues of $2.5 billion...
