...Barks, 81, was raised on a farm in Oregon, had a total of eight years of school and worked at every kind of job from mule skinning to lumberjacking. He was 26 and heating rivets on a construction gang when he mailed off some cartoons to "a little gutter magazine." The cartoons led to a series of magazine jobs that eventually landed him at the Disney Studios story department, which he quit ("I didn't feel free") after six years. "I was going to raise chickens in the San Jacinto Mountains," he recalls, but a comic-book publisher with...

It is important at such events that especially celebrated ladies be whisked quickly through the crowd before...
Among the many candles that have been lighted in honor of the free Polish spirit, Man of Marble and Man of Iron seem to be the least likely to gutter out as time goes on. It is possible, in fact, that these films of Wajda's (who last week was still reported under arrest in Poland, along with other artists and intellectuals) may become perpetual flames in the perpetual struggle against tyranny...
