Sampson Jr. says that the truth is simply: "We're all yellow. We businessmen should stand up for what we believe in. But whenever it's controversial, we back away...
Died. John Broadus Watson, 80, pioneer psychologist ("behaviorism") and longtime (1924-46) advertising executive (J. Walter Thompson Co., William Esty & Co.); after long illness; in Manhattan. Borrowing from the work of Russian Physiologist Ivan Pavlov, Watson developed a theory that man's personality is merely a mass of conditioned reflexes, later turned his academic concept to cash as he mapped out early advertising campaigns (for Pond's Cold Cream) that exploited man's desire for personal prestige...
