...raising the gasoline tax but by reducing the income tax cuts scheduled to go into effect July 1. This $17.9 billion plan will be offered as a substitute for the House Democrats' highway-gas tax program, and will be defeated, as its sponsors know perfectly well. Their aim is to tell constituents that they voted to create 650,000 jobs, a grossly inflated estimate...

"His sole aim was to create entertainment." But the two goals are not mutually exclusive, as demonstrated by this vast selection gleaned from millions of sketches, paintings and layouts. Abrams' book continues the elevation of Disney from the Barnum of the barnyard to an aesthetician with uncanny instincts.
