The advertising business, like America itself after the war, had built up the fiction of safety with its hierarchies and armylike respect for the boss. When he really got going he would say things like “The big agencies are turning their creative people into mimeograph machines!,” and all the frustrated creative people in town would stamp their feet and cheer, “Yea, Bill!” ![]() Their pitiful research reduced advertising to, basically, one poor tired ad that was repeated over and over again. But Bill claimed they were either liars or stupid. The big agencies defended themselves they said they made advertising scientifically, with sophisticated research. Worse, they didn’t sell anything to anybody. Ads, he said, had become dishonest, boring, insulting, even insane. He challenged all the big agencies that had become important since World War II, saying they had killed advertising. He was the talk of the town because he was creating a revolution in the advertising business, which was a glamorous business at the time. In the 50s in New York if you talked about “Bill” you meant Bill Bernbach. I was working at McCann-Erickson for the money, for little black dance dresses that showed off my Norwegian legs, for my baby daughters’ smocked dresses from Saks, and for an apartment larger than I could afford, but then I met Bill Bernbach, and he made a serious woman out of me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bond acknowledges his unknowable expiration date – spies are expected to be killed on the job, after all – and explains why he’d rather spend his money than save it for a future that, in all likelihood, will not come to pass. The novel starts slowly, offering rare introspection and analysis of James Bond: his lifestyle and habits, and his monotonous routine (contrary to what readers might’ve expected, given his exploits in Casino Royale and Live and Let Die). It is a clear demonstration of Fleming fine-tuning his craft, ably mixing the perfect ingredients – high stakes gambling, a thrilling car chase, and a megalomaniac villain – to concoct one of James Bond’s best, and most thrilling, escapades. It’s one of Fleming’s most timely novels, playing on the rampant fears of the 1950s, of rocket attacks from overseas, and seemingly inevitable nuclear warfare. Moonraker is 007’s third adventure, and the stakes have never been higher. ![]() ![]() ![]() The SWAT team and Smoothville residents work around the clock to salvage Smoothville’s Christmas celebration. ![]() Is the community right?

Lee might also have the ear of the Giannis camp. And similar to Nick Nurse (who was an assistant for five years in Toronto before he became head coach) Lee has paid his dues. Charles Lee is certainly ready to be a head coach. Nick Nurse is possibly the best outside candidate, but could assistant coach Charles Lee be the frontrunner? After watching Darvin Ham and Taylor Jenkins have success in the NBA, maybe Bucks management is envious of the success of other Budenholzer assistants. ![]() Related: Bucks Fans Want Nick Nurse #1- The Job Might be Charles Lee’s to Lose Click on the related link if you want to know what tons of fans think.
