In 1986, with the $450 million purchase of the Ted Bates agency, the brothers reached their avowed goal: Saatchi & Saatchi was the world's biggest ad firm. By last year, their client billings had reached $13.5 billion (runner-up Interpublic billed $8.4 billion), and the company had offices in 58 countries...

Grunwald demurred, pointing out that the U.S. could never accept such a formal accord because of Washington's official commitment to the goal of reunification. Moreover, said Grunwald, the Soviets could do little to prevent such a course if it actually took place, short of using force, which all agreed was highly improbable...
