...persuading Gingrich to try out George Lois, one of the adman inventors of the Volkswagen campaign. Lois, in real life a partner in the advertising firm of Papert, Koenig, Lois, Inc., gives away the $600 he gets for each cover to a Greek charity. Hayes also put across the idea that the magazine's editors should think up the table of contents instead of simply choosing among stories suggested by contributors. Each Friday, Managing Editor Byron Dobell and six editors drift into Hayes's New York office for a story conference described as "organized anarchy." Occasionally they...
