Jerry Delia Femina, who handles the Teacher's Scotch account, dealt pragmatically with the problem. When Groucho Marx, Jimmy Breslin, Mel Brooks, Tommy Smothers, et al, agreed to appear in Teacher's ads, his agency started sending them two cases of Scotch a month. And it takes no suspension of disbelief to credit Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle with downing a great deal of Lite Beer...
