...million to $1.85 billion. He expanded the theme parks, heavily marketed Disney merchandise, turned the studios into tight-budget, live-action hit factories and presided with Jeffrey Katzenberg over a rebirth of Disney's animation franchise that produced such crown jewels as The Lion King. Investors from Warren Buffett to the Bass family latched on as the stock soared 3,598% during those 14 golden years. And Eisner cashed in. So far, he has exercised options worth roughly $850 million...
Your item on the $2 million birthday party that former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski threw for his wife [Nov. 10] asked, "$2 million and the best he could do was Jimmy Buffett?"

But voters haven?t been so tolerant of the ?Rockin? Rowland Tour,? as the local press dubbed it, since the economy tanked and state revenues shrank. Rowland has seen his approval ratings free fall from a high of 78% to 31% in July. He now jokes with...
...bred for white meat and grow enormous chests and are unable to walk around on their little ankles and have to be kept in hammocks and fed through a tube. He was something of an embarrassment. The Terminator is a charming man with a geezer brain trust of Warren Buffett and George Shultz, and the three of them may give Gray Davis, who was too clever for his own good, his comeuppance. But I doubt the Terminator would win if he were running in Minnesota. We've seen that movie already, and we wanted to leave after the first...
