re: #346 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)
I ignored it for a while, then started watching it out of boredom. It is fascinating as it starts in the year that I did: 1959, and I recall a lot of the details and events that it portrays.
Those days are not sepia toned for me. In 1959 I was 11 years old and I’d already read Vance Packard’s The Hidden Persuaders. Antipathy was about all I felt towards ad agency people back then. The passing years have tempered my feelings to mild dislike.
