...gotten a lot of attention for surface things, like the ?TV is Good? campaign, during Tarses? time there," Poniewozik says. "The image is different.

That lack of bottom-line success made it that much easier for the Disney suits to surround her with more and more synergistic corporate types, until life at the Alphabet lost its appeal.

They?ve got a point: According to the Treasury Department, the middle 60 percent of American families would have gotten 33 percent of the tax breaks under the original Senate plan ?- not a lot to begin with -- but only 21 percent of the cuts in the final bill. The top 20 percent are slated for the remaining 79 percent. Republicans don?t disagree ?- they?ve got plenty of voters making...
