...John Lennon was not God. But he earned the love and admiration of his generation by creating a huge body of work that inspired and led. The appreciation for him deepened because he then instinctively decided to use his celebrity as a bully pulpit for causes greater than his own enrichment or self-aggrandizement. For several key years in the late '60s and early '70s, Lennon and Yoko Ono turned their lives into a virtual "Truman Show" to promote the issues they believed...
...prize for "best packaging of a candidate" must be awarded to Ralph Nader (Gore supporters, get out the voodoo dolls), whose huge success (comparatively speaking) can undoubtedly be ascribed to his ability to tap into the aggregate pre-existing consumer consciousness by mimicking ads from Mastercard and Monster.com. The former has a tagline that includes "Campaign ads filled with half-truths: $10 million.

The companies' "marketing" consists mainly of blind-mail brochures to manufacturers...
...other hand, we should be glad they're reading at all. The RED team's inventions were a huge hit with the thousands of kids who packed the San Jose, Calif., Tech Museum of Innovation from March to October this year; so much so that the exhibit will tour the country in 2001. "Kids are very accepting of these new forms of reading," says RED researcher Maribeth Back. "We've made the book more responsive, in the same way other electronic appliances they know are. The book form we know starts to look less and less sacred...
