...boasts a technical dexterity that Walt Disney could only have daydreamed of. At first you may snap to suspicious attention when, say, a cartoon stork pedals a real bicycle, or Jessica diddles a human's necktie. But the film encourages you to vacation in its ingenuity. Drop by the Ink and Paint Club, Toontown's toniest dive, where the password is "Walt sent me," penguin waiters patrol in tuxedos, and Daffy and Donald Duck, together for the first time, perform a piano duet. Meet old friends like Mickey and Bugs, Tweety and Betty Boop, and new ones, like...

Last week the front runner in the Democratic presidential campaign was forced to concede that sagging tax revenues have thrown his $11.6 billion 1988 budget out of balance by more than $300 million, with additional red ink forecast for 1989. Since the Massachusetts constitution mandates a balanced budget, Dukakis must trim spending programs -- a task that should be good practice if he ever moves to the Oval Office...
