"So you're the Texan who can read," remarked a cynical reporter one day in the library of De-Golyer's impeccably furnished Mexican-style palace in suburban Dallas. Standing in the huge, 15ft-high room choked to the ceiling with some 20.000 volumes-which ranged from rare editions of Copernicus and Francis Bacon to the best sin gle private collection of works about the Southwest...
