George W. asked him, "How can we trust you?" Atwater came back with a challenge: "Why don't you come up here and watch? And if I am disloyal...
Winebaum helped make Disney, though a late comer to the Internet game, a formidable player. Last year Disney bought a 43% stake in InfoSeek, a search engine that was slipping behind competitors and needed a new brand and some marketing might.
