Definitions
the mobs of people are sufficiently numerous today to cause a herring effect. No one herring is given any attention by the rest of the herrings. Public Relations attempts to break out of this inattention by being a more startling herring. But if overdone, the rest of the herrings believe one is a shark. (HCO PL 12 Nov 69)
