...realized that there was really no place to stay for the people in their crowd--designers, DJs and other fashion-conscious urbanites. So with partner Doug Herrick they took over a former halfway house in a downtown neighborhood and created Ace, Seattle's new haven for flophouse chic--a mode that could be hospitality's next wave. "They're outsiders," says Ian Schrager, the pioneer of hip hotels. "Which is the way we were, and which I like...

He remained apart from specific social and political causes, never joining the battle of ideas. Having established an idiom and a mode that commented on modern ills such as commercialization, real estate development, generational distrust, Schulz extended the area of doubt in modern life only insofar as he made it funny to doubt.
