It was a dream come true. David Ogilvy wrote to me when I was working for Ogilvy & Mather Direct and I wrote back. Notice my perkiness but then this was 1991.

"Aldous Huxley,who once tried his hand at writing advertisements, concluded that `any trace of literariness in an advertisement is fatal to its success. Advertisement writers may not be lyrical, or obscure or in any way esoteric. They must be universally intelligible. A good advertisement has this in common with drama and oratory, that it must be immediately comprehensible and directly moving."
