As the top copy disciplinarian, Cone constantly emphasized that an ad should be a clear, simple "substitute for talking to someone." He shunned both whimsy and the knuckle-hard TV sell. As an account man, his ability to hold on to such maverick clients as Hallmark Cards' Joyce Hall became legendary. Publicly, Cone emerged as the most respected scold of the industry. He once scourged the "tasteless people" in advertising...
