Since consumers want to see real people rather than idols, advertisers expect the ethnic look to be around for years to come. "We don't want a colorless, odorless soup," says Guy Taboulay, the executive creative director in Paris for B.S.B., a U.S.-owned ad agency. "We want to see national identities and character. Tomorrow's culture will be made up of different cultures. That will be its strength...
...President's unexpected moxie has led to a dramatic transformation in his image. Dismissed as a colorless technocrat, variously derided by his fellow Mexicans as "El Chaparro" (Shorty) and "El Pelon de las Orejas" (Baldy with Big Ears), Salinas, 41, was considered an unlikely presidential candidate even by many members of his own Institutional Revolutionary Party (P.R.I.).

A Rhodes scholar, Heisman trophy winner and once the youngest general in the Army, the squeaky- clean Dawkins seemed too good to be true. Apparently he is. Pilloried as a carpetbagger after moving from New York, Dawkins stoked the fire by declaring he could not stand the boredom of living in a small town, one of many missteps in an inept campaign. Lautenberg is now favored...
