Robert Gene Baker had lain for months like a dead cat at the door of the U.S. Senate. Few inside seemed in any rush to kick him away. True, the sharp, ferret-eyed kid who had left his native Pickens, S.C., at 14 to become a Senate page had been charged with gross impropriety for using his post as a Senate aide to become Washington's No. 1 influence peddler.

Stevens & Co., only the two days before Christmas surpassed the sales volume of the first day after.
