...agencies are starting up to serve the need, though most of them bill less than $1,000,000 annually. Last week, for example, Zebra Associates opened shop in Manhattan with an integrated staff. The agency is a partnership between Raymond League, a former account executive at J. Walter Thompson, and Joan Murray, a correspondent for Manhattan's WCBS-TV. Their biggest account is the national campaign for All-Pro Chicken, the franchising chain headed by Brady Keys, retired professional football star. Zebra's admen are not the least self-conscious about using heavy Negro dialect in their...
President NAP fares better in his Vanitas with an odyssey to Ice Station Zebra accompanied by a Baton Rouge townie ("I peered at reflection in his jacket."). Zebra Lampon-style runs 6 months (the intermissions "scheduled to coincide with the migrations of the hummingbird"), and the article offers if nothing else a telling indirect observation of the director's style: "For the next five months or so the actors jockey for position in front of the submarine latrine, while a second camera keeps us informed of the submarine's depth." Still, Zebra get too much play in the issue (perhaps...
...right, men, now hear this. Captain Rock Hudson speaking. First of all, welcome aboard the nuclear submarine Tigerfish, proceeding at top speed toward the North Pole. Our mission is to rescue a group of marooned scientists and weathermen at Ice Station Zebra.

Something to do with a capsule from a downed Russian satellite, espionage, treachery, the fate of the free world, and all that...
Crushed Expectancy. Next afternoon, the crowd gathered in the Zebra Room for the "Operation Match get-together" looks like a sampling from the line outside Radio City Music Hall. Much of the previous evening's frenzy has spent itself. The room is quiet as Milgrim begins his spiel. "A lot of you won't believe this," he says, "but within twelve months' time seven or eight percent of the people in this room will be married to someone they met on this cruise." When the self-conscious laughter subsides, he explains that "because of the small sample...
...year and a half ago Hollywood's apparent but inconclusive degeneration could justify enough nervousness to take the time to carefully pull apart a God-awful film like Frankenheimer's Grand Prix; but these days it's harder to get mad and, as things stand, I guess Ice Station Zebra isn't all that bad. It has the potential for being a good picture, but hanging over it are the ghosts of rewrite, of producer Martin Ransohoff whittling away at anything individual, leaving a gutless synthetic: sure-fire product at the expense of originality. It will make...
