Herb Ackerberg was a pretty well-known character around CBS in the 1940s -- and you couldn't miss him in the corridors. Where most of the network executives were impeccably tailored after the example of Mr. Paley, Ackerberg slouched around in baggy pants, a sport coat, and a polo shirt, with his hair slicked down and a hokey pencil moustache that made him look for all the world like Peter La Plata. He also always had a cigarette in his mouth that would wag up and down while he talked, and when he talked he usually had nothing to say. But Paley thought he was a great high-pressure salesman and that was that. Clearly Miss Harrington made the mistake of buying what he had to sell.
Nick is *exactly* what Boomville needs. And it's out of the way enough that his appearance there wouldn't draw any unwanted attention. A nice quiet place for a nice quiet retirement.
