...bishop knows his diocese and its problems well. One of six children, he was born the son of a rice-mill worker in segregationist Lake Charles, La.

One of the first things he did when he took over his father's struggling knitting mill in 1956 was to begin selling seamless nylon stockings in supermarkets for 750 a pair−half the standard price. Today, every other pair of women's hosiery sold in West Germany is made by his firm, Schulte & Dieckhoff, whose sales have increased twentyfold in the past nine years, to $90 million...
