HOUSTON (AP) — Texaco Inc.
filed a motion Monday with a Texas
appeals court asking for a reversal of
the court’s decision last month that
upheld a landmark multibillion-dol-
lar judgment against the oil com
pany in its dispute with Pennzoil Co.
In a 70-page motion sent to the
1st Texas Court of Appeals, Texaco
contends the court made more than
200 errors in its Feb. 12 decision that
upheld a jury finding that Texaco
wrongfully interfered in the
planned merger in 1984 between
Pennzoil and Getty Oil Co.
Texaco also said Monday that if
the appeals court refuses to reverse
itself, it should enter a judgment for
Texaco or return the case for a new
trial.
A Texas state district court jury in
November 1985 ordered Texaco to
pay $10.53 billion in damages to
Houston-based Pennzoil. The ap
peals court reduced that judgment
by $2 billion but the amount remains
the largest in U.S. history.
Two weeks ago, Texaco filed a
motion with the appeals court asking
for a new trial because it said Pen
nzoil did not file a reply to the ap
peals court’s reduction of the
judgment.
Last week, Texaco asked for a
new trial, alleging trial Judge An
thony J.P. Farris, who died in Sep
tember, was biased against Texaco
and its chief lawyer.
The latest request said the appeals
court simply “rubberstamps” an
original judgment that was filled
with errors.
“We regretfully submit that
throughout its opinion, the court ap
plies inconsistent reasoning to simi
lar situations so as to reach one con
sistent conclusion: Pennzoil always
wins and Texaco always loses,” Tex
aco said. “And, where there is no
other way to avoid a pro-Texaco re
sult, the court simply ducks the is
sue.”
Among the alleged violations
cited by Texaco is a personal
relationship between Farris and Pen-
nzoil’s chief attorney, Joseph Jamail;
substitution of Farris midway
through the trial by Solomon Casseb
Jr. despite Texaco’s objection; and
the Texas’ courts refusal to apply
New York and Delaware law.
Casseb upheld the damage award
in December 1985, added another
$600 million in interest, and said in
terest would continue to accrue at a
rate of 10 percent a year.
Jamail said he was not impressed
with the motion.
“It’s not anything that’s convinc
ing, legally,” he said. “They’re just
going through the motions and
really more for their own sharehold
ers.”
Steel drum's sound
conjures images
of man's old home
OYSTER CREEK (AP) — Es
mond Christmas keeps the sound of
his homeland stored in a spare
room. Big yellow drums, made from
oil barrels and decorated with fluo
rescent orange and green stars, are
stacked any which way to fit.
“I got a double tenor here — let
me show you what it sounds like,”
Christmas says, reaching over to
strike it with a rubber-tipped mallet.
The drum gives off a deep, resonant
“bong, bong.”
Christmas and three of his chil
dren — Churchill, 14; Leslie, 12;
and Ricky, 9 — form the Gospel
Symphony Steel Band. Christmas
plays a tenor pan, the steel band’s
lead instrument, like an orchestra’s
violin or a choir’s soprano. The four
of them thump out religious music
with the flavor of the islands in
churches, parking lots, shopping
malls — any place people will listen.
Christmas, 39, learned to play
steel drums when he was 14 years
old, growing up on the island of To
bago in the West Indies.
A heavy-equipment operator,
Christmas came to the United States
in 1973 when he was offered a job in
Florida. In 1979, he and his family
moved to this small Texas town,
bringing their music with them.
“It reminds me of the tropical
country with all the beauty,” he says
of the drums. “The tone, the melody
blends so beautifully it amazes peo
ple. That’s what I like about it, the
tone. It’s just beautiful.”
Steel band music was born in the
working-class ghettos of Trinidad in
the late 1930s, although its roots
may be traced back to drum music of
Africans, which was imported to the
West Indies by slaves.
Stories about the specific individ
ual or group that invented the steel
drum abound. According to
Christmas, “One guy threw a rock
against a garbage can . . . and found
a sound in it.”
The people of the West Indies ac
companied carnival bands on the
streets by striking lengths of bamboo
on the ground or against other
pieces of bamboo. In search of
louder sounds, they started banging
buckets, biscuit pans, dustbins, car
hubs and oil drums.
Experimentation with these new
instruments continued and burst
into the streets with parades on V-E
Day in 1945.
Christmas says some of the first
drums were played whole, with
notes hammered into each end.
Drummers carried the heavy drums
strapped over their shoulders, and it
took a brawny musician to plgy one.
The bands gained a broad audi
ence in 1951, when a national steel
band, the Trinidad All Stars Percus
sion Orchestra, performed at the
Festival of Britain and went on to be
come a highly successful performing
group.
To bring music out of an oil
drum, Christmas first hammers
down the top, stretching it into a
concave shape. Depth, curvature
and size of the dome determine the
pitch of the instrument.
Hobby gives
endorsement
to Hart for ’88
AUSTIN (AP) — Lt. Gov. Bill
Hobby led a group of Texas officials
and legislators Monday in endorsing
former Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
“We are convinced that Gary Hart
stands for the principles that will re
store our country’s economic health
and fulfill our strategic role as leader
of the free world,” said a joint
statement signed by Hobby, Rail
road Commissioner Chairman Mack
Wallace, House Speaker Pro Tem
Hugo Berlanga of Corpus Christi
and a number of Senate and House
members.
“Texas is extremely important to
me,” Hart said, adding that he is
counting on Texas and Florida to
lead his support in southern states.
