There is none of M*A*S*Hs can-the-caduceus flippancy about Rogers-as-businessman. His investment philosophy, say his clients, is strictly "traditionalist." So is Rogers. Born William Wayne McMillan Rogers III, the son of a wealthy lawyer in Birmingham, Ala., Rogers in his youth was suitably Southern-comfortable: "I drank beer, chased girls and drove fast cars."

The Bavarian Lutheran Church is the only staunchly conservative Protestant Church left in West Germany, the only one, for instance, that does not yet permit the ordination of women. Thus traditionalist, some might say male-chauvinist pastors have found it a welcome refuge. But even in Bavaria times are changing. Among other innovations, a bishop can now give special permission to a woman to celebrate the Eucharist.
