...sleek limousine glides through empty nighttime streets, circling the illuminated monuments of Washington. In the back seat, a clean-cut naval officer and a dark-haired beauty stare at each other a moment. Then they kiss, furiously. She flings herself on him. He gropes for the zipper of her strapless black-and-gold sheath. There is a flash of a man's hand on a creamy thigh, the pull of a black garter. Afterward, the officer and his friend relax into opposite corners of the limo and survey the damage. "My name is Tom," he says with a smile...
Visitors to the lab, a sleek four-story maze of gadget-filled work areas, are assaulted by strange sights. In a 64-ft.-high atrium, 7-ft.-long computer- controlled blimps may be flying overhead -- part of a project to develop stimulating science activities for elementary and high schools.

In creativity and sleek production values, these ads are often comparable to their English-language counterparts. A Spanish ad for Miller Lite carried on the beer's celebrated Tastes Great- Less Filling theme. But added to the cast were a gaggle of Latin celebrities, including former Boxing Champion Alexis Arguello and retired Boston Red Sox Pitcher Luis Tiant. Miller apparently believes that, in the Hispanic community at least, Tiant's pitch for beer can be as effective as any fastball...
There she stands, Miss Black America. With her impeccable face, sleek figure and supernova smile, she looks like a Cosby kid made in heaven. She stirs sentiments not of lust but of protectiveness and awe; everybody around wants to adopt her, escort her or be her. And now this perfect creature picks up a microphone. Oh. You mean she sings...
