1970s scene

Okay, I've seen this film three times at this point, and it's pretty clear how it's meant to be read. Each story provides some spark of inspiration for the one that follows it chronologically. Except, that is, for the 1970s oil conspiracy plotline. At first, it seems as though this story has the most clear connection to the past, as a characters actually crosses over from the previous story. However, Sixmuth's motives and actions in the 19070s seem in no way inspired by or connected to his earlier experiences with Frobisher. And at the end, that story seems to have no link to the Cavendish story whatsoever (or any of the subsequent ones, for that matter). At most, you have the characters observing that their story would make a great book, and Cavendish is a publisher, who may or may not have published this story-I don't recall the film ever saying so. Even if he had, there seems nothing about it that motivates any of his later actions. I can't really see where this part of the plot relates at all to the rest of the movie.
