...black market are largely a matter of style. Even before Bill Clinton donned sunglasses and went on The Arsenio Hall Show, Pillsbury put shades on the Doughboy and recast him as homeboy. K Mart, meanwhile, hired a black advertising firm that created an ad campaign around the slogan "Looking Good." In one radio commercial, a woman tells her friend about the store's new fashions. "Girl, I couldn't believe my eyes," she says. "I went out and looked at the store name again. It was K Mart all right...
...Korean-owned convenience store is back to normal. But outside in the parking lot, just yards from where white truck driver Reginald O. Denny was nearly beaten to death, another minority enterprise has sprung up. It is a makeshift stand selling $5 and $10 T shirts emblazoned with the slogan: JUSTICE FOR THE LA 4. LET MY PEOPLE GO.

Nineteen million homes had television by 1952, and Dwight Eisenhower didn't need convincing. The predominant feature of Ike's $1.5 million effort (which had as its slogan the nonincumbent's perennial favorite: "It's Time for a Change") was forty 20-second spots called "Eisenhower Answers America." In tone and substance, the same ads have been run by almost every candidate since the '50s (including George Bush and Bill Clinton during this year's primaries) -- softball queries served...
