...American TV Commercials Festival is awarding a Clio, the industry's equivalent of an Oscar, to the best actor in a commercial. Among the nominees is plump Charlotte Rae, who does a devastating satire of a nightclub torch singer mugging her way through the new Alka-Seltzer anthem, I've Got the Blahs.

His instructions for the signature music for American Express were that it should say "America, business, travel." The America part was easy; he simply recorded six notes of the national anthem, then added a dash of business and travel by "tricking the tape up a bit" with his machines. What these signatures say to Siday is money. None of them last longer than seven seconds, and he is paid at the average rate of $5,000 for each second...
