"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

With that quote by George S. Patton (1885-1945), we give you this month's Response Raves, which range from books to art to a magazine that will make you feel smarter. Enjoy!

The Entitled book cover

The Entitled

by Frank DeFord

In this page-turning story, Frank Deford takes the reader deep inside the game of baseball and evokes the roles of the players as well as the one man who can make or break a team and a season. Plot and character driven, this is the best baseball novel since The Natural.

Learn, take part, have fun, and win! It's the RESPONSE Energy Drink Project

Response Energy Drink

We're excited to announce the launch of the interactive Response Energy Drink promotion on www.ResponseEnergyDrink.com. The promotion is based around the creation of an energy drink where we're asking you to participate in the process by voting for your choice for the product name, its logo and other marketing efforts.

To participate log on to www.ResponseEnergyDrink.com. Anyone who takes part in the promotion by voting is automatically entered into a sweepstakes where you can win a prize such as an iPod, digital camera or a pair of tickets to their home team's sporting event among other items. The promotion is broken down into four phases with each phase consisting of a single vote relating to the energy drink. Each phase will have one winner, randomly chosen from those who participated. Once all four phases are complete the final drink will be developed using the winning votes to determine the product's elements.

We developed the promotion as a challenge out to all of you to get involved, to get energized and to see how a brand can listen to the audience to become better, bigger, and stronger.

We've created a special limited edition energy drink so only a select number are available until they run out. Anybody who takes part in the promotion and requests a sample will be sent one while they are in supply. The final product will be sent to all those who participated in the final vote.

The latest installment of the Indiana Jones movies recently completed filming in New Haven.

Director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford were spotted throughout the city. Look for Response's home city on the big screen when the film is released in Summer of 2008.
