An investigative reporter badgers a University of Houston professor about how much he charges the university and his research sponsors for work-related expenses.
He’s in the UH physics department but he works for big oil and sees no reason why he shouldn’t live like his real employers — or at least a little like them. For oil executives, renting Land Rovers and flying first class ain’t worth a bucket of spit (they use chauffeurs and private jets); but for physics professors it’s way cool.
