A Retailing and Registration Wake-Up Call At the NAA conference in Washington, D.C., publishers heard a direct "wake-up call" today from a non-advertiser. Gordon Cooke, CEO of J.

The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think Edwin Schlossberg: "The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think" (reference; via Martin Roell) In a funny way this quote calls for many associations.
