She admits to knowing precious little about how the other players are doing, is sure only that so far, this season...
...Piel Brothers' beer, they have won such fame that even the most blurb-worn viewers are changing their ways: instead of ducking out when the commercial goes on, Easterners are now turning on their sets to catch the Piel cartoons. Last week, in response to heavy fan mail, Piel announced that it would take space in its Manhattan newspaper ads to list stations and times when the 20-second and 60-second beer commercials can be seen...
