Y2K adviser Curtiss led 30 year readiness efforts
Mike Curtiss, founder of Curtiss & Associates, has spent 30 years tracing the Y2K risk from the 1969 National Bank of Chicago failure to today. His firm advises banks, the USPS, NASA, and the FDIC on contingency planning, stressing high risk of simultaneous system failures and the need for preparation despite skepticism. He notes only about 8 percent of problems would hit service at midnight December 31, with later issues possible.

Philip Morris ad targets teens with cautions on dating
Sean Kirst critiques a Philip Morris public service spot that uses a teen romance scenario to warn against smoking and drinking. The narrator questions the ad’s messaging, noting its emphasis on privacy, parental absence, and the scene of a first kiss while targeting teenage girls. The piece argues the commercial serves as a paradoxical lure to youth by linking smoking to social ease.
