"A Bag of Snakes" Lawrence T. Marrone

An advertising account executive has been in the business for 25 years, and has held his present position for the last 10. In order to advance in the field, changing agencies every few years is almost the rule. He has been with only two agencies during this period. Now at 45 years of age, it's highly unlikely that he will advance. Out of the blue he is contacted by an old army buddy, whom he hasn't seen in years and is offered an opportunity to acquire a 15 million dollar account for his agency. Much wheeling and dealing goes on during these transactions. And now working closer for longer hours with his secretary a love affair develops.
