...Manhattan's Park Avenue, he seldom watched TV or went to the movies. Eisner's parents -- his father a lawyer-entrepreneur and his mother the president of a medical- research institute -- strictly rationed his pop-culture consumption. Recalls Eisner: "For every hour of television I watched, I had to read for two hours." Eisner dabbled in premed studies as a freshman at Ohio's Denison University, but eventually found better chemistry in the literature and theater departments. The first time he saw a Disney film was several years after college, when he went with his wife Jane to a Bronx...
...essays in salesmanship. The rides (such as Peter Pan's Flight and Snow White's Scary Adventures) promoted the films. The Disney characters strolling through the parks served as free commercials for the Mickey Mouse back scratchers, Goofy bikinis, "Totally Minnie" fashions and Donald Duck notepaper (with the warning READ MY LIPS) on sale in the parks' stores. And in creating roller-coaster rides with a story line, Disney helped shape the course of movie narratives.

In the West Bank the scene was somewhat less violent but no less angry. Palestinians flew black flags and crowded the mosques to read commemorative phrases from the Koran. Still, tensions resulted in five deaths, making last Saturday's total death toll of at least twelve the highest daily count since the Palestinian uprisings began last December. Confronted by growing demonstrations and stone-throwing youths, the Israeli army imposed curfews on eight more refugee...
...hostages were already paying dearly. An Algerian doctor permitted to go aboard described the passengers as tired but in "satisfactory" condition; some of those who were released said they had been manacled and herded into the front rows of the jumbo jet and had not been permitted to read or speak. Plastic bindings had cut deep into their wrists. Toilets became so fouled that some hostages were sickened; Algiers airport workers were finally allowed to clean up. Ramadan Ali, an engineer who holds dual Egyptian and American citizenship and who was one of the twelve hostages released in Larnaca, told...
