...powerful United Federal Party, Prime Minister Sir Edgar Whitehead announced that if his party wins the election next year, his government will ban racial discrimination in most areas of life, a shift that would change the face of the nation. The local black African nationalists are unimpressed, insist on the grant of immediate universal suffrage, which Whitehead has not promised. Said one of their leaders: "We are not interested in the elimination of the color bar in hotels, residential areas, industry and public swimming pools. Africans want the vote...
...book is, in fact, rather upsetting. Mr. Wilson has in him the wit of a Kingsley Amis and the erudition of a Dorothy L. Sayers, but he will insist on writing by the standards of the bracken.

By so doing, the admen argue, their trade contributes to mass demand for products, mass employment, mass distribution and mass buying-all of which are essential elements in the creation of mass affluence. Madison Avenue's case for itself thus closely mirrors the case for free enterprise...
