After members of Jamie's celebrity-endorsements team reviewed my photos, they thought there might be hope for me because, as Jamie put it, "you have a clear complexion and shiny, dark hair." I wasn't sure if she was going to score a deal for me from Mennen or send me into the third race at Santa Anita. I was learning that being a spokesman means being treated like a piece of meat. And that I liked...
...absolutely clear about this: if you can see through it, it's got to be good. Take underarm deodorants. There's Ban Clear and Mennen Lady Speed Stick Crystal Clean. No more of that opaque green stuff. Dishpan hands these days go for Procter & Gamble's lucid Liquid Ivory -- clear soap in a clear bottle -- over white Ivory detergent. Booze?

He served as floor manager for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the 1968 Civil Rights Act, as a sponsor of almost every major consumer bill...
...fact that he's aware of his own ludicrousness doesn't prevent Allan from doing stupid, inappropriate things. In trying to impress a blind date, he anoints himself profusely with Mennen Spray Deodorant, Lavoris, Johnson and Johnson Baby Powder, Canoe and Binaca--leaves Thelonius Monk and Bartok albums strewn "carelessly" about and waxes philosophically ("Pain...it washes memories off the sidewalk of life.") He knows what he's doing, and yet somehow can't restrain himself...
