...current biographers go, Lady Antonia Fraser is not necessarily the best, but she is certainly the prettiest. It is a title she would not relish, for she is to scholarship born and bred. Her father, the Earl of Longford, a sometime leader of the House of Lords, is also the author of a number of books on topics that range from banking to philosophy.

Disney could not push those too far without ceasing to be Mr. Clean, the celluloid geneticist who ingeniously bred the anus and genitals out of the animal kingdom, the trusted entertainer whose mandate was to give children the dreams adults like them to have. And so his achievement became a large shift in the limits of unreality, which is not by any means the same thing as art. The shows and puppetry...
