When Italian mothers wish to punish their children these days, they often warn: "Tonight you won't watch Carosello." The nightly eleven-minute TV show has a huge audience of both children and adults, despite the fact that it is nothing more than a nonstop commercial, peppered with jingles, cartoons and celebrity testimonials that hawk everything from Stock brandy to "Tiger in your tank." Carosello is but one reason why TV advertising, little known outside the U.S. a decade ago, has become a $775 million-a-year business in a dozen countries, from Finland to Japan. This year that...

The chaplains learn fast that the techniques suitable...
...himself an American Zola, and set out to describe the ordinary lives of ordinary people in ordinary language. He stamped all over the parlor niceties of Victorian tradition and proclaimed in a booming voice that heroines are not often virgins heroes are not usually gentlemen. He did not necessarily punish the wicked. Indeed, in Dreiser's novels good and evil do not exist-there is only unheroic suffering and scrambling for success. In retrospect, his prose seems clotted, clumsy, pompous, prolix, humorless, flatulent and dull. An American Tragedy ran to 385,000 words ("250,000 of them unnecessary," snorted...
