America will continue to reach new heights, said Pepsi, and you kids can have a rollicking time along the way.The climate into which the retooled brand has now entered, however, is markedly different from where it has been before. The concept of the American Dream is not only in the midst of a reevaluation, the morality of aspects of that Dream is in question. If, in coming years...
