Relationships sometimes flower. Some callers may decide to drop in for continuous in person counselling. Others make a habit of calling, becoming regulars that almost everyone comes to know eventually, like lonely old women who just want someone to talk to and find the Place volunteers friendly, open, and interesting.

...auction as a news and social spectacular came to full flower with Sotheby's acquisition of Manhattan's Parke-Bernet in 1964. Christie's, its more decorous rival, came to New York 13 years later and has been more cautious about expanding worldwide. (Sotheby's has 42 international bases, Christie's 29.) Not totally tongue in cheek, Christie's maintains that "Sotheby's is a businessman pretending to be a gentleman, while Christie's is a gentleman pretending to be a businessman...
