Puny two-dimensional shadows projected on a flat screen would not do for the entertainment empire built on Uncle Walt's idea for a better mousetrap. At Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., visitors sit in round theaters and are treated to postcard-panorama film tours of China and France through the technocraft of Circle-Vision 360.

Even so, Cosell tends to overstate all of his points. He spends nearly half the book detailing the intricacies of NFL rules hat allowed franchises to move from Los Angeles to Anaheim or from Oakland to Los Angeles, or from New York to New Jersey. Even Al Davis' eyes would grow bleary at the site of 150 pages about the history of carpetbagging franchises and how Howard Cosell was among the right-thinking people every time the question came up--no matter which side Howie took...
