At fund raisers across California, high-tech execs like Hewlett- Packard Co-Founder David Packard and other businessmen such as Reagan "Kitchen Cabinet" Member Armand Deutsch hail Zschau as "one of us" and provide a copious flow of campaign cash, expected to top $3 million...

Like Spencer Tracy, he seemed a natural force: everything seemed to flow out without calculation. Tracy, however, made chamber music; Cagney was a marching band. It is probably this particular blend of effortlessness and theatricality that moved Orson Welles to marvel, "You're supposed to be scaled down and subtle in movie acting. But look at Cagney--he's big. Everything he does is big, and it works...
