Charles R. Schwab has always seemed a man in a hurry, and once again, he appears to be on the move. Several analysts described his resignation yesterday as a director of BankAmerica as a possible first step in a new effort to buy back his brokerage or perhaps even start a new one. An eagerness to get back in control of his company, which he sold to BankAmerica in 1983, is believed to be part of the reason for Mr. Schwab's resignation.

From the very beginning, Charles Schwab has put himself squarely in the bullseye of this journey. His name is on the building. His face adorns the ads. Customers may do business with any of the thousands of Schwab people around the world, but Chuck--please, not Charles--is their broker. What is in the company's DNA that has allowed it to succeed in so many harsh environments? What permitted a discount brokerage to give up $9 million in fees to offer the No-Annual-Fee IRA just because it seemed right?
