...assaultively colorful Hawaiian shirts. In the mid-'80s, this Disney renegade began making computer-animated shorts, one of which, Tin Toy, won an Oscar six years before he finished Pixar's first feature, 1995's Toy Story. That movie changed animation history, as Walt Disney had in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Like Walt in his early genius period, Lasseter saw that the secret of an animated movie is story and characters--and the enemy of innovation is complacency. "We fear becoming a studio where we act like we know what we're doing when...
...prison for murder, and the late John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer executed in 1994. Manson's prison art gets three- and four-figure prices; even his prison flip-flops are for sale. On daisyseven.com - whose logo proclaims "Where Crime Pays. Every Day" - a license plate from Gacy's snow plow is up for $1,700, a Gacy rosary...

Somehow, inexplicably, he had survived the nightlong storm, living through bitter, anoxic conditions that should have killed him hours before. To be sure, his condition was grim. His hands, frozen and long past useless, had the white, waxy look of a cadaver's. His nose and cheeks were black with...
...woke up in the snow, opened my eyes, and directly in front of me was my ungloved right hand, which was clearly dead," he remembers. "It looked like a marble sculpture of a hand. I hit it on the ice and realized that so much of my tissue was dead, I wasn't feeling any pain. That had the marvelous effect of focusing my attention. I had an innate awareness that if the cavalry was going to come rescue me they would already have been there. If I didn't stand up, I realized, I was going to spend eternity...
