For example, promotions once accepted but now forbidden include Tad's ads for jeans, which were headlined "Do Something Revolting in Tads" and Truth & Soul Fashions ads, which note: "We learned something about revolution from Geronimo." The editors object that commercial use of the words demeans the causes that they represent. Moreover, says Robert England, president of Manhattan...
