...Tintoretto, Rubens and Rembrandt, becomes in Tom Wesselmann's rendition a pink plastic Great American Nude in her bathtub, with gallerygoers playing unreluctant elders. Those meticulous Dutch still lifes of fruits and game are reflected in Pop's soup cans, candy canes, slabs of gooey cake, giant Coke bottles...
...months, the gossip fizzed through the ad world: "Coca-Cola is changing. Coke will have a completely new look." It was no idle rumor. Lippincott & Margulies, the Manhattan design consultants, were hard at work on a multimillion-dollar project intended to refurbish Coca-Cola's image.

...original novel was a reminiscence, not a protest, a souvenir of a simpler time when a quiet bitterness was as good as a riot and the most drastic sort of racial demonstration was trying to buy a Coke at the drugstore soda fountain. Parks is not yet sufficiently sophisticated as a dramatist to make such an unquestioning life completely credible to a contemporary audience.
