...ad is understated and endearing. Unlike Coke's moving train, the set is simple, the action comprehensible. Here Pepsi becomes the object of the escapade, not just an afterthought.

...glasses that the Coca-Cola company will distribute in an effort to give its pitch an extra dimension.

Even the leading Republicans have learned to soft-pedal hawkish rhetoric in Iowa. Bush's first Iowa TV ad, aired last month, stressed his strong support for the President's INF treaty with the Soviet Union.
