...been excusable if the candidate chose some other forum to set forth and defend his program. But Ted's candidacy served no expository function; he did not present the New Frontier goals to the voters of Massachusetts. Lacking imagination, humility and conviction, the youngest Kennedy substituted a smile, a slogan, and a great deal of money. The best that can be said in his defense is: smart politics. But only if one plays at thinking like a Kennedy advisor, can one excuse Teddy's surliness on the grounds that "he had nothing to gain...
Dead Chicks. To protest such inequities, demonstrators from Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges massed in Brussels. Marching ten abreast down the Avenue du Midi, some of them toting banners with the absurd slogan "Flemish Doctors for Flemish Patients," they ran smack into phalanxes of waiting Walloons, and the riot was on. When one Flemish tough tossed a "thunderflash"-a beer can filled with gunpowder-into the crowd, 4,000 steel-helmeted riot police who had been poised just off the boulevard wheeled into action...
...major issue of the campaign is "whether we will send someone to Washington who will support the national administration." The well-worn slogan "He can do more for Massachusetts" means to him, "I can do more for because I support a Democratic program, and a Democratic program does more for the people."

About three days after the price announcement, a group of youths marched out of their dormitory after dinner chanting a slogan against the decree. They were soon joined by thousands of others, who also shouted complaints about piecework rates. The huge crowd moved slowly toward the center of town, accompanied by housewives. The main square was jammed, and to get a better look at the turbulent scene, many students climbed trees...
...Union and Mutual of New York. Lusk, a Connecticut machinist's son who worked his way through Yale ('23), rose to the top of B. & B. on the crest of a vastly successful 1946 advertising campaign for Procter & Gamble's Tide-for which he coined the slogan "Tide's In, Dirt's Out." (Early this year, with competing detergents cutting deeply into Tide's share of the market, P. & G. switched the $9,000,000 account away from B. & B. to Manhattan's Compton Advertising.) Tall, handsome and well-tailored, Lusk rarely departs...
