...Republican Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Five decades later, he ran for President himself. But it is what he accomplished in between that made Dr. Benjamin Spock one of the most famous and controversial figures of his century.

In 1970 he created evening wear out of materials like sweatshirt fabric and denim, an aesthetic later executed far less tastefully, albeit to greater splash, by Gianni Versace. Today Beene often buys shoes for his fashion shows along one of Manhattan's seedier discount shopping blocks. "There are jewels," he enthuses, "everywhere...
