...feelie in question is Captain EO, a 17-minute space fantasy with music and dance, which will be shown at the two Disney parks and, as the press kit trumpets, "nowhere else in the universe." But even if it were a dirt-bike movie that played only seedy drive-ins, EO would be notable for the conglomerate of megabuck talent that confected it. The executive producer is George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars trilogy. The director is Francis Ford Coppola, once Lucas' mentor as executive producer of American Graffiti, now switching roles with his former acolyte. The star...
...dream in Disney World is a benign dictatorship of style, a triumph of art over nature. The lightning bugs in the shrubbery by Cinderella's Castle are tiny synchronized bulbs. In a 3-D short called Magic Journeys (to be replaced this September with a Michael Jackson film, Captain Eo), a boy blows milkweed toward the audience, and 586 viewers shiver with delight. There is more magic that the customers never see. A Swedish pneumatic garbage system moves 50 tons of discarded glop a day. The costume room holds l.5 million items of clothing (eight per employee). The huge computer...
Federalism, in its essence, depends on rational compromise. It requires the central government's willingness to exist eo-evally with regional autonomous bodies of government.

Unus discipulus dixit: "Disciscopia verborum dum legis atque in fabulam intras. Fortasse ego ipse novos eventus de Daimone scribam. Tamennescio num quidquam praeterea sit quod Daimon facere debeat...
...television receiver, can adjust its course by remote control, or the bomb, having "memorized" the picture of the target with its built-in electronic brain, can aim itself for a direct hit. The Walleye is employed mainly against bridges and other large targets. An even more sophisticated "EO" (electro-optical) missile called the Maverick has a rocket booster, which enables it to maneuver, so that it can fly into caves where North Vietnamese have hidden artillery pieces and other essential military supplies...
