...were to have read an article in The Dartmouth after that weekend suggesting things as deprecatory and juvenile as those proposed by Savit, I would have been ashamed. I cannot help but think that the majority of Harvard students agree that Savit is naught but an ugly stain on a healthy Crimson rug.

It is exemplified by Foote Cone's loud "Shout it Out" commercials for a stain remover and the "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is" jingles created by Wells, Rich Greene's President Charlie Moss for Alka Seltzer-a far cry from the entertaining commercials the same agency turned out for the same product a few years...
