I watched Uncle Walter deliver the count of college campuses occupied by student protesters from the inside of an occupied NYU building the week of Kent State. But...<BR/><BR/>That's like saying the top brand of anvil. The category has so changed that, while news is still news, the proliferation of talking heads has rendered the importance of any one, or three of them, to almost nothing. <BR/><BR/>Because there were three networks, these men were the source. Now there are so many sources there is no one trusted source. You're right when you say the news business became something that isn't news. But if these guys were on the air again today they would fail. <BR/><BR/>For that matter, I would dispute your adding them, as well as Parrish and the Beatles to a list of brands. But then, clearly we have fundamental differences on the definition of a brand, just as, in my job as a creative director, I have a different definition for an insight. <BR/><BR/>All this said, I'm very happy to have found your blog today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33082850.post-35390518341182827872008-07-10T13:39:00.000-07:002008-07-10T13:39:00.000-07:00I agree on Legend.

Barbasol Menthol shaving cream. I can't find it on store shelves, so I buy it by the case from the manufacturer. Gillette razors: they just keep making them better and better, and while they also get more expensive, I figure my face is more than worth it. Mennen deodorant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
