Going into PR means never having to say that you're sorry -- that you abandoned more exalted halls of journalism for it, that is.

Shecktor. Contesting, by Selma Glasser. Finish this rhyme in 25 words or less: The importance of being punny/ Is that it earns you loads of (Not to mention a trip to Europe, a complete gas heat installation, and a date with Sid Caesar.).

If you can please all the people all the time, company magazines are looking for you.
