In the 35 years since, Dumas Milner has never stopped selling, and last week he did his biggest buying and selling yet.

The deep-pile sideburns have been clipped slightly, and something-perhaps German umlauts learned in the Army-has strengthened the rosebud mouth. He behaves with considerable authority, and shows his dramatic ability by containing his laughter when Hope Lange says (to the lad who was buying Cadillacs before he was 21): "Don't try to tell me you're just a barefoot country...
