At seven, young Milner-dubbed "Dumas" by his family because he tagged after a hired hand by that name-signed up to sell an elixir called Rosebud Salve to neighboring farmers. In the 35 years since, Dumas Milner has never stopped selling, and last week he did his biggest buying and selling yet.

And Birmingham's white country people, teeming in from piney woods to steel mills, view desegregation less as an abstract threat to be fended off by lawyers than as a specific, bread-and-butter threat to jobs, promotions, family security.
