...scramble for subleases, drilling rights and tips on new finds, Oneida has become the newest boomtown headquarters of the oil industry. Cadillacs and Lincolns with out-of-state license plates cruise the streets. D.B. Biglane, rotund in his checked suit, swoops in almost weekly from Natchez, Miss., in his rented DC-3. Like most visiting oilmen, he wheels and deals at Tobe's Motel and Restaurant. Owner Tobe Philips, who now drives a Cadillac himself, has nearly doubled his prices and started a 16-room addition. Across town, the B & Z Motel is putting up visitors in trailers...
...dinner at his house and a three-and-one-half hour car tour of Cambridge. After feeding me plenty of Italian macaroni and meatballs, we began our ride by crisscrossing the streets of East Cambridge, Vellucci's home territory. He drives a Chevrolet himself, instead of using a chauffeured Cadillac which the City traditionally provides its mayors. As we drove around with WRKO playing softly in the background, Vellucci explained two differences between East Cambridge and Harvard Square.

(He also has a town house on Manhattan's Upper East Side.) He begins a typical workday by reaching the office, via his chauffeured Cadillac, by 8 a.m. Often he works until midnight. He spends so much time in offices, cars and planes, and so little time outdoors, that he almost never wears an over coat, even in midwinter. In the office he is almost always on the phone, speaking with financial executives, economists...
Frank C. Erwin Jr. is the biggest booster the University of Texas has. His Cadillac is orange and white-the school colors-and he dotes on the national-champion Longhorn football team. He is a tireless money raiser and wants nothing less than to make the U.T. system the best in the country. He has no patience with anyone or anything he considers damaging to his beloved alma mater-and since Erwin is chairman of the university's board of regents, his antagonists are automatically on red alert...
