Avocation & Vocation. Prescott is brash and flamboyant, the towering (6 ft. 6 in.) Hoffman cool and brilliant. Born in Chicago, Hoffman graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors from the University of Illinois in 1943, returned to get a law degree after serving as an army captain in Europe (two Purple Hearts and a Silver Star) in World War II. He joined New York Central in 1952, quickly moved up the ranks to become executive vice president in 1962.

Ah, but that was before Hollywood's newest starlet sensation, Gayle Hunnicutt, 23, came along to make a shambles of what David calls "my inner defenses." Not that it was a blitz, mind you. In February, they flew to Las Vegas with marriage on their minds, then had a tiff and David buzzed off to Turkey to film Charge of the Light Brigade. That...
When they opened for business last spring, the brash young founders of Manhattan's new advertising agency, Wells, Rich, Greene, Inc., promised to "build the most profitable agency in history." With a flair that made even Madison Avenue eyebrows twitch, they started out by getting just about the most publicity in history...
