...point where it grossed $7,100,000 last year, selling through 1,400 retail stores. Last week Schuman showed off the results of some of his thinking: he opened a new $2,000,000 three-story plant, and celebrated with a fashion show at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel. There, amid the popping of champagne corks, models drifted along the runway wearing coats and suits of Schuman's new fall line. But the important part of Schuman's thinking was not only the designs; it was the fact that the clothing was made largely of the materials...

As if to prove it, he canceled his regular walk on his first bright, breezy morning in San Francisco last week to try to make peace among California's demoralized, feuding Democrats. First he held court in his second-floor Fairmont Hotel suite for a procession of party leaders.
