...Walt Disney died on Dec. 15, 1966, at the age of 65; yet it is difficult to think of him as being dead. Much of this has to do with the ubiquitous enterprises that, under Brother Roy Disney, continue to spread the name.* On a more disturbing level, however, it is difficult to accept the fact of Disney's death because it was difficult to accept the facts of his life.

During the New Hampshire primary campaign, he sketched Romney, Rockefeller and Nixon as windup dolls running off haphazardly in all directions-and in the case of Romney, backward. Last week it was Lyndon Johnson's turn in the guise of a booted, bulbous-nosed Texas longhorn that horns in on a picture-taking session. "You gittin' my good side, oF buddy?" he inquires...
