June 57 columnist Erskine Johnson wonders about TV's new publicity stunts and advertising gimmicks: "A 225-pound giant of a fellow, a four-foot midget and a gorgeous harem girl named Virginia De Lee walked into my office. Virginia was wearing a smile and not too much else. The midget and the giant, dressed as slaves, unrolled a small rug, and served me a cup of what they said was Egyptian coffee.
