...together, the directors, may one day be hailed as true innovators in film it is they who pack a succinct story into a few seconds and in the process produce many new cinematic ideas. The work of such directors as Michael Cimino for Kodak, Howard Zieff for Benson & Hedges and Mike Elliott for Rheingold, has precipitated an interplay of ideas that flows freely between Madison Avenue and the conventional movie set. The directors dabble with Fellini-like stream-of-consciousness techniques. Hollywood copies TV's fast cuts and odd-angle perspectives. The quality of Richard Lester's movies A Hard...
...patient is the product and the doctors are the admen. Recently, TIME Correspondent Edgar Shook sat in on a brainstorming meeting at Chicago's North Advertising Inc. The patient: Flair, a new Paper Mate pen with a nylon tip. Among the doctors: North President Don Nathanson, Creative Director Alice Westbrook, Copy Chief Bob Natkin and Copywriters Steve Lehner and Ken Hutchison.

"The strike has cut the heart out of the seaway season," says Captain John J. Manley, Chicago port director, who estimates that 750,000 tons of cargo will be diverted to East Coast ports by this week. Such losses could saddle U.S. and Canadian taxpayers with extra burdens. Seaway traffic has lagged so far behind expectations that the $460 million U.S.-Canadian project is still losing money. The seaway has failed to generate enough revenue to retire its bonds...
Transforming the Clerks. "We have been trying to broaden our business," says Managing Director Erich Vierhub, 66, "and now we are harvesting the first successes." One of Vierhub's main aims is to "transform staid bank clerks into money salesmen"-a formula that works at home as well as abroad. One of the Dresdner's mutual funds, Concentra, has grown into the country's second largest (assets: $226 million). From its coequal headquarters in the cities of Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg, the bank has opened 650 branches across West Germany, adds new ones at the rate...
