"If all of the women who claim to have slept with Kennedy are telling the truth, he would not have strength enough to lift a teacup, let alone deal with Khrushchev." Women or not, Kennedy dealt pretty well with Khrushchev, and that may be the larger reason why Camelot will not fade away...
Given the stakes, a settlement makes sense, though it would be awkward for Eisner to pay Katzenberg a vast sum in the wake of shareholder anger over the $130 million or so that Disney dealt to Michael Ovitz after firing him as president last December. Conversely, the Ovitz settlement ensures that Katzenberg's sights are set high: Why should Katzenberg take less for 10 successful years than Ovitz got for 14 unimpressive months?

Cut, fade to black. Another Parker, to be published next year, is in the can, and the first volumes of the series, The Hunter and The Man with the Getaway Face, are due to be reprinted. They deserve to be, though Comeback is a grittier, better book. And the other 14 prehistoric Parkers...
