...symposium called, "Challenges to Legal Education," Erwin Griswold, Langdell Professor of Law Emeritus, James Vorenberg '48, dean of the Law School, and Albert Sacks, Dane Professor of Law, and two other law professors suggested different recommendations for making curricula less theoretical...
King of Madison Avenue? No agency can hang on to that crown for long these days, thanks to an epic acquisition binge. Only two weeks ago, the merger of three large firms--BBDO International, Doyle Dane Bernbach Group and Needham Harper Worldwide--created the biggest agency in the world (estimated annual billings: $5 billion). But that superdeal appeared to have been surpassed last week when London's Saatchi & Saatchi agreed to buy Manhattan-based Ted Bates Worldwide for an estimated $350 million.

...smallest of the three, but it brings a strong domestic network to the merger. Some industry wags saw a resemblance between Needham's role in the deal and its Wheaties ads, in which pint-size Olympic Gold Medalist Mary Lou Retton gulps down cereal with the "big boys." Doyle Dane Bernbach ($1.7 billion) has the most to gain. After scoring numerous hits over the years with ads for longtime client Volkswagen, the agency attracted notice with its beguiling babies series for Michelin tires. But DDB lost several major clients in 1985, dropping $45 million in business with the exit...
