RICHARD NIXON'S White House is a controlled, antiseptic place, not unlike the upper tier of a giant corporation. It is staffed by briskly busy young men whose discreet, deliberate, disciplined manner accurately reflects the image of the Boss. The President is seldom seen by the press. The "Beaver Patrol"-the title given to the assistants of Presidential Aide H. R. Haldeman-scurry around with the Nixon orders and the memos signed RN.

Soon after that caught on, Young & Rubicam hired an actress with a throaty voice, just like Gunilla's, to implore, "Put it on, put it all on" -an appeal for customers to buy Plymouths and load them with all manner of optional equipment. Eagle Shirtmakers' color-naming contest of five years ago-in which the winning entries included Foreseeable Fuchsia, God's Little Ochre and Hot Chestnut-was revived this spring by Young & Rubicam for Ford's Maverick. The car colors range from Freudian Gilt and Original...
