Viewers can look forward to lots more of Disney: last week he signed a $9,000,000 contract to do three filmed series for ABC next season, including another round of Disneyland. For nine weeks millions of viewers suffered through their TV screens with young (30), curl-cropped Charles Lincoln Van Doren as he stood inside one of the soundproof pressure cookers of NBC's game of chance, Twenty-One, and answered a staggering variety of questions ranging from Lincoln to Latin America, from chemistry to comic strips.
