[SR71A]

A state senator whose son works for Oracle arranged a meeting between Logicon -- Oracle's reseller in California... Anybody else find this odd? As best as I can tell, Oracle usually sells direct to large companies and state governments. Why cut in a middleman?

You're forgetting the "deferred bribe"...when the state employees that approve the deal retire or resign and are hired by Oracle or Logicon at huge salaries for their "cooperation" on the contract. Happens all the time on Federal bids.
