...frozen Ussuri river that forms the common border of Communism's premier countries. Precisely what happened there last week, in the bleak, snow-swept wilderness of eastern Asia, may never be fully known.

Just two weeks ago, it won the Royal Crown Cola account, which raised the three-year-old agency's annual billings to $100 million and put it among the top 30 ad agencies. Like Braniff Airways, a former WRG client, and American Motors, a current one, Royal Crown trails the leaders in its hotly competitive field and counts heavily on snappy advertising for recognition...
