      Good point, Mr. Mant. I don't think the real 'Walt Disney' would have appreciated being mediocretized synonymously with the likes of 'Kraft Salad Dressing'. But there you go; it is what it is. And this Eisner jerk is what he is. And now he wants to dazzle us with a book about as exciting or interesting as watching grass grow. . What an original pompous horse's rear. What next, 'Wendys restaurant'?..

      Typical American story, hot-shot business savy jerk(s) take over an ALREADY established (THROUGH HIGH STANDARDS & INTRGRITY & most importantly REAL TALENTED ORIGINALITY) self-made business, and destroy it in everyway, except financially. In other words, they take the brand name and suck it dry (for everything it's worth) (which is a lot); so I say to this jerk, "big deal".

      Disney is complete CRAP for kids, compared to what it was. A 'reflection'?. Perhaps?.

      The picture, at least at this time, is of Dana Milbank.

      I guess this book grew out of "Conversations with Michael Eisner," the monthly CNBC show he hosts, tho he mentioned partnerships in his 1998 collaboration Work in Progress, but I don't understand his interest in much more than Donald Trump's interest in TV-stardom, or what motivates itinerant "motivational" speakers like Elizabeth Dole. I suspect it began as an exercise in apologetics. Everyone these days seems to want to write his memoirs, as if they were war heroes. The first book arrived in a climate of American exceptionalism (or exuberance), too. This one, like Gordon Gekko, should exhibit a different tone. It is difficult, in any case, to see him in quite the same light as Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. I've never quite understood these Irving Thalberg's, et al. Do they think "producing" the same as performing or writing? I've noticed that on resumes, where a manager takes credit for having "done" something that obviously he just ordered done. He should, perhaps, have spoken with Woody Allen instead. But I'm not keen on Disney either. Particularly not the idea of "Disnifying" American history. This is not to say that they don't turn out well-crafted products, just that I have as much appreciation for them as for Kraft salad dressing.
