Amantadine's effectiveness seems to be confined to the Asian A-2 strains of influenza virus. Last winter the U.S. Public Health Service, troubled by the drug's side effects, refused to approve its use against the newly emerging Hong Kong strain of A2.

A couple of the more successful are Chicago's Vince Cullers Advertising Inc. and Manhattan's Howard Sanders Advertising & Public Relations. For 15 years, Vince Cullers got by on the fringes of advertising as a freelance artist in Chicago; it was tough for a Negro to find a job in a white agency. In the past three years, the rise of black consciousness has turned his color into an asset. His agency now bills an estimated $1.5 million a year from accounts that include Kent, Newport...
