Business has been good recently, Chung says. He reports that JCA has been able to be fairly discriminate about which clients they take. The firm has a policy not to take on any beer companies because only 25 percent of the college market is of age to use the product. Recently, JCA picked up the account of a national promotion for a "major watch manufacturer" who is releasing a new line. Chung says that the manufacturer has already done testing in 29 college markets and that JCA will try 30 more during the summer...
...really ignore the product? Can we--will we--allow ourselves to take capitalism to its extreme? Will we all become straight-line economists, caring only for supply and demand and giving not a thought to what the supply and demand is for? Is the surrogate mother's child really comparable (let alone analogous) to a work of art? A work of art may be a part of the artist who creates it, but it surely is not human.

...blue-collar Baltimore, 1963, these guys have Palm Springs tans. They drive Cadillacs that pull into their parking spaces like a Thanksgiving Day parade of metal sharks. Who are they -- the Mob? More like the lost patrol. They are middle-aged men without women, salesmen peddling an obsolete product: themselves. They take an artist's pride in the egregious frauds they dream up ) to sell some aluminum siding to a gullible homeowner. Ask them why they spend all this creative energy either on the job or drinking it off, and they will probably confess that they do it to support...
