The Gospel According to Larry (2011)
“Phillips or the time I broke into the high school on a Saturday night and set all the clocks back fifteen minutes just to mess up the routine. So when I picked the lock on Peter’s briefcase one night at two a.m., it was pretty much just business as usual.

As I skimmed through them, however, it became clear that they were extremely confidential23—future ad campaigns, most aime...d at the “lucrative youth market.”24 I checked out the ads. Joe Camel was gone, but the tobacco companies weren’t giving up on the illegal teen market. An ad for a major designer deflected the criticism of paying Asian workers only dollars a day.25 A beer company wanted to come up with a print ad as collectible as the vodka ads traded by teenagers. It went on and on, enough material to hang corporate America by its designer tie.
I scanned the report onto my hard drive, then put the original back in Peter’s briefcase.MoreLess
