...Fascist, devoted Augusto Turati is remarkably mild, even reasonable, conciliatory. He was made secretary general in 1926 to tone down the excesses of his predecessor, Roberto Farinacci, notorious leader of Fascist Selvaggi ("Savages") who blustered about Italy smashing doors, knocking out teeth, kicking pits of stomachs.

But while credit for creating the magnificent Specialist goes to "Chic" Sale, credit for this campaign is due to Joseph Katz whose advertising agency of the same name handles the Ex-Lax account. Other of smart Adman Katz's customers are: American Oil Co. (Amoco Gas), Maryland Pharmaceutical...
...colleagues all over the world 10,000 circulars, like those advertising criminals wanted, with Judge Crater's photograph and description prominently displayed: "Age, 41 years; height, 6 feet; weight, 185 pounds; mixed grey hair . . . thin at top, parted in middle, 'slicked' down; . . . brown eyes; false teeth ... tip of right index finger somewhat mutilated." Few days later Mrs. Crater received a letter: "Your husband is alive and safe. . . . We believe there is something wrong with his head. ... I beg to inform you that unless $20,000 in bills of small denominations is delivered to us per instructions...
