...Within minutes, he reaches the Cessna 441. Its props are still turning, but the pilot has fled into the dense, swampy undergrowth. Dressed for the office in a suit and loafers, Kennedy pulls a Walther PPK from his ankle holster and gamely wades in, immediately losing a shoe to the muck.

A little more than a year ago, a dissatisfied Reebok moved its account from California-based Chiat/Day/Mojo to Boston's Hill, Holliday, Connors & Cosmopulos. But last March the athletic- shoe maker left the Boston agency and gave part of the $40 million account back to Chiat, which has produced such memorable ideas as the Eveready Energizer Bunny and Nissan's fantasy drives, in which a young man dreams of Christie Brinkley coming along for the ride...
