Eisner might have cited Katzenberg as the one man -- the modern Walt, who does not create the story or draw the pictures but whose imprint is indelible in a million questions and suggestions, in his noodging and kibitzing, in refusing to be quickly pleased. Yet Katzenberg denies authorial status. "This is not me having a humility attack," he says. "It's just that the characterization isn't true. If you want, you can call me the coach. When Pat Riley coaches a basketball team, they do pretty good. Yet the absolute reality is that Riley did not put one ball...
...Disney salespeople hopping. In the British stores Winnie the Pooh is the top seller. France prefers Bambi and Thumper. Germany goes for Scrooge McDuck and the Jungle Book denizens, while the Japanese choose good old Mickey and his significant other.

...suddenly a remarkable number of books very much like them -- do not reach such underage readers by subterfuge or stealth. Adolescents now constitute a booming niche market for the peddling of published gore and violence. "Teens' interests go in cycles," says Patricia MacDonald, editorial director of Archway Paperbacks, an imprint of Pocket Books and a major player in the teen-horror field. "In the '70s it was problem novels, the disease of the week. Then it was romance novels, soap operas like Sweet Valley High and Sweet Dreams. In the '90s it's the thrillers." Hardly a blip on publishers...
