...accounts like glamorous Gucci (because the Italian company wanted its luggage photographed in a certain style). He despises hard-sell advertising of the Charmin TV variety, and has no intention of growing just for growth's sake ("Anybody who says you have to branch into other fields is a dope"). All this he has accomplished with a lean, highly paid staff of just ten people. In short, Rogers is proving that the "boutique" ad agency, which flourished mightily in the 1960s but has since been disappearing under cost pressures, can still maintain a place...

Birsh should have struck for a more natural vein...
...sessions, light heavyweight Cookie Wallace provided an imitation of Ali that resulted in Wallace sacrificing his upper mandible for Shavers's benefit. Wallace taunted Shavers, a la Ali, and stuck his face out to receive Shavers's blows in a crude and masochistic simulation of Ali's "rope-a-dope" technique...
