But Willie Bosket Jr. is not your everyday homicidal maniac. A self- described "monster," he is intelligent, well read and sophisticated. At least three books are being planned to memorialize his life story. He has at his disposal a "spokeswoman" to handle inquires from the media and Hollywood.

Even a beguiling stop in Munchkinland reminds the passengers that, however the technology of Disney rides has improved, the scope has not changed since the '60s. It's a Small World after...
