His conviction was overturned on appeal (during the Carter Administration), but booze and drugs took their toll. Within a few years Harry ended up panhandling on Sunset Boulevard...
...Hispanics in the U.S. "live in two worlds," says Alex Pallete of the Hispanic ad agency Vidal Partnership. But their Latin world is remarkably diverse, which means that advertisers must hit common cultural cues and appeal to U.S. Latinos' shared values and experiences-like close-knit families or having loved ones in another country-while reinforcing the brand identities that Hispanics recognize.
