...cartoon studio in 1979 believing that management was not living up to the animation ideals established some 40 years earlier by Uncle Walt. Soon 16 other Disney animators had joined him in his garage to affirm their faith in clarity of story line, subtlety of color and density of graphic detail. Now the Bluth Brigade has emerged with its first feature-length cartoon. It is something gorgeous to look...
...Back in the 1950s, this usually meant looking after the cows on the priory farm. Today the brothers sustain Weston with more creative labors.

The suffering of Mr. Kelley's family and co-workers must be acute enough without exacerbating their pain with the graphic depiction of his crushed body. The incident was covered extensively by the major Boston media outlets, all of whom refrained from such morbid illustration. What purpose did the Crimson's not one, but two, photographs serve? We feel that the Crimson should step back and assess the motives that compelled them to lower their...
