HOLY COW! HISTORY: Mr. Whipple, Mrs. Olson and the Golden Age of TV ad (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Once upon a time, American consumers took advice from a little man floating inside a toilet bowl. No, really! Ask your parents. They’ll remember. There’s even a name for it — the Golden Age of TV commercials. From 1960 through 1980, 30-second ads built three television network empires, influenced shoppers’ purchases and kept us entertained. One genre stood out from all the others: spokescharacter campaigns. The name says it all: A mashup of a fictional character serving as a spokesperson for a c
The scandal that nearly ended Sen. Gore’s career (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sex, scandal and politics have been an unholy trinity in America’s history since Day 1.

Read excerpt
In an age when it seems Americans can’t agree on much, one thing — and maybe just one — enjoys broad popular support: scrapping the twice-annual clock change. Poll after poll shows a clear majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents think it’s time to stop the twice-annual pain in the neck. Congress is considering a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent.
