Elie Weisel hearts Maurice Levy

If you're still a person who reads TIME, you may have noticed that the magazine is asking influential people, which influential people they'd nominate for the TIME 100 list of influential people. Phew! In this week's issue we get a surprise: Nobel laureate Elie Weisel is nominating Publicis CEO Maurice Levy, saying Levy is, "an outstanding international figure in marketing and advertising and an influential personality at the highest levels of government and business. He is well informed, intelligent and warm." Tell that to Martin Sorrell.

That's really sweet BUT some of ML's most recent press coverage has revealed that he "enjoys" the most amazing grasp of the obvious: as of late he has been quoted uttering only the most trite cliches about the advertising/marketing business....he gets a lot of exposure but he has said nothing of substance....
