		Oilman Edward L. Doheny, fellow oil millionaire Harry Sinclair, and Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall were the infamous trio indicted in the Teapot Dome scandal.
		Although Doheny was not involved in the Teapot Dome oil reserve (Sinclair was), he had managed to secure drilling rights to two other naval oil reserves, which became linked to Teapot Dome in the broadening scandal.
		As a consequence, Doheny's federal contracts were voided and the most bizarre paradox in U.S. legal history resulted: in separate trials, Fall was convicted of taking a $100,000 bribe from Doheny, but Doheny was found not guilty of offering the bribe.

	Book Review
		Edward L. Doheny is known to most college students who have taken the second half of the American History survey as the man who in the early 1920s bribed Secretary of the Interior, Albert B. Fall.
		Subsequently, Doheny was acquitted of bribery, but he was heart-broken and gradually descended into a state of physical and mental disability.
		Doheny's work was simply not as historically significant as that of the other industry creating entrepreneurs with which the author compares him; he was not an industrial first mover or great innovator.
