Godard is not profound, but he is a genius presenting light truths artlessly...
...function of public relations reflected in your Essay. It is true that some so-called corporate public relations practitioners are employed principally as company spokesmen, much as the Government employs its ambassadors as phrasemakers rather than policy-shapers. But in its proper context, corporate public relations has a profound influence on corporate policies. When public relations fulfills this role, it is based not nearly so much on word skills as on sophisticated understanding of research techniques. In brief, corporate public relations today uses a far broader blend of disciplines than the writer of the Essay uncovered...
