New York Times
A Rival Is Charged, and a Map Dealer Wants to Say, 'Told You So'
By ALISON LEIGH COWAN
He considers himself an oracle and, yes, a bit of an opportunist, too. 
He says that nothing will make him sorrier than to be proved right. Yet 
he concedes that he could benefit financially, should it be proved that 
his archrival in the business of selling rare or important maps is 
found to be a thief.
Still, W. Graham Arader III, who has been criticized by clients and 
colleagues for years for his attacks on E. Forbes Smiley III, a leading 
competitor, says he is looking forward to vindication.
