...twelve sachets of liquid douche concentrate that is offered in two floral scents (orange blossom and jasmine), as well as two flavor scents (raspberry and champagne). The ads were created by Marsteller Inc., a relatively sober agency that includes among its accounts IBM, Dannon Yogurt and Fruit of the Loom.

...Manhattan's glittering East Side, of discotheques and penthouse parties, of private-school accents and what Procaccino, in a rare flash of genuine wit, once called the "limousine liberals." Lindsay's riposte was to label Mario's entourage "Cadillac conservatives." In the view of their foes, Lindsay's forces loom as an alliance of patricians and restive blacks ? the New Establishment in urban America ? and Procaccino and his aver age man are out to destroy...
