...results: those ads in which the Life Savers look good enough to nibble right off the page, and the discreet "Modess . . . because." Michigan-born and Stanford-educated ('29), Gribbin broke into advertising as a copywriter for Detroit's J. L. Hudson department store, worked his way eastward to Manhattan's Macy's before joining Y. & R. in 1935. A dry, reflective man who claims to play "the worst golf in the ad business," he won his spurs at Y. & R. with his whimsical ads for Arrow shirts and Borden's "Elsie the Cow" campaign...
...flat, open country within the city's northern boundary, the land to the west is checkered with brown wheatfields and lush, green, potato gardens. Eastward stretches a no-man's land where once fertile fields lie desolate and deathly still. They could be in two different worlds-and, in a sense, they are. Even the countryside outside Berlin is divided into East and West by a vicious, impenetrable hedge of rusty barbed wire and concrete.

Thus the West sacrificed Eastern Europe to turn Hitler eastward, and only when he betrayed the trust and demonstrated his intention to annihilate the West did Russia become important for the Allies. Munich with its opportunistic implications, represented the second unforgettable episode, which, for the Soviets, foreshadowed the Cold...
...heavy clouds are rare, and the brighter celestial bodies generally shine through thin, high cirrus clouds. But at twilight, when the sun drops just under the horizon, there are anxious stretches when a navigator can spot no stars against a bright sky lit from below. If he is heading eastward, he soon flies into darkness, and his guiding stars reappear. But fast jets almost keep pace with the sun, and on westward flights the baffling, starless twilight may last for several hours...
