...model and self-taught artist best known for her colorful papier-mache sculptures of huge, voluptuous women, called nanas, a French term akin to "broad"; after battling emphysema and asthma; in La Jolla, Calif.

Additionally, the increased reliance on graduate students as teaching fellows has caused grades to rise; teaching fellows have less experience evaluating student work than professors, and they have little incentive to resist raising grades when challenged by students. In fact, teaching fellows could be even more...
...writer whose vivid stories were instrumental in defining the studio; in Studio City, Calif. Second only to Walt Disney in his talent for cartoon storytelling, Peet wrote the screenplay for 101 Dalmatians, created Dumbo and contributed to Fantasia, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. After retiring from animation in the mid-1960s, he wrote award-winning children's books...
