From his great house on Riverside Drive he can look across the mile wide Hudson River and perhaps dreams of bridging it. With "J. G.," who has now turned 60, lives "J. D.," his son, James Dugald White, 38. "J. D." is a director in all three of his father's companies, but avoids the connotations of "engineer" and describes himself...
