...Advertising agencies grew fat; creativity was in full flower. The most sought-after agencies turned out bright, playful ads designed to put consumers in a happy mood: Alka Seltzer's "Try it, you'll like it"; Lay's potato chips' "Bet you can't eat just one"; Noxzema shaving cream's "Take it off, take...

Within the 200-mile zone, there is a serious question of how many fish remain to be caught by anybody...

Between stops for Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape, Author Susan Brownmiller remembers looking at her publisher's schedule and reading "Eat sandwich now!" They were right. It was the only chance...
