UNFORTUNATELY, the long-awaited and self-interestedly roseate report of the policy committee is not the only new stain on the GSD's record in this affair. The GSD faculty, meeting last week with only 25 voting members present (one over the quorum requirement), added a few blotches...
...television. Agency chiefs and their clients like to call the new approach "realistic," "tough" or "consumer oriented." but to the public the end result seems nothing but the plain old hard sell. 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...

Few citizens of the affected cities and regions appear to be concerned. One reason is that the new Communist officials could scarcely be more inept than the bumbling moderates they will replace. In Turin, for instance, one official of a previous Christian Democratic administration spent large sums to lay down a set of streetcar tracks; they were immediately paved over when another official declared the street...
