Advertising, in many ways, is a con game. Human beings do not need new automobiles every third year; a color television set brings little enrichment of the human experience; a higher or lower hemline no expansion of consciousness, no increase in the capacity to love.
It is not surprising then that politicians and advertising men should have discovered one another. And once they recognised that the citizen did not so much as vote for a candidate as make a psychological purchase of him, not surprisingly they began to work together.
