Tony Schwartz at 84; helped create 'daisy ad' that changed political advertising

Truncated from the L.A. Times:

Schwartz...helped create the infamous “daisy ad” that ran only once during the 1964 presidential race but changed political advertising forever...

(He)...collaborated with a team from the Doyle Dane Bernbach ad agency to create the spot featuring a little girl counting aloud as she pulled the petals from a daisy. The scene then changed into a countdown to an atomic blast. President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Democratic incumbent seeking reelection, did the voice-over with the line, "We must either love each other, or we must die"...
