  1. You can probably make a crystal oscillator using a couple of CMOS gates. For example:

  2. Some chips (other than microcontrollers) contain a built-in oscillator. I'm thinking of the xxxx4060, which has a crystal oscillator and 14 stages of clock-dividing flipflops, but I doubt whether it's the only one.
