What if mother-love, the Cruelty of Man, the Landlord of the Forest, and other miscellaneous nineteenth century melodrama are overdone until they become a lush mush? These are Disney's incorrigible faults, but they are well worth suffering or sleeping through for a glimpse of a lop-cared bunny yelling like hell as he slides...

The author does not draft a new faith to close...

The United States has learned that the federal government must assume responsibility for making the economy work.
