...park will be a money machine. The company has not put one penny into the Japanese project, yet for the next 45 years it will receive 10% of the receipts for admission tickets and rides plus 5% of sales of everything else. That, says Wall Street Disney Watcher Lee Isgur of Paine Webber Mitchell Hutchins, might add $25 million to $40 million to Disney's operating profits next year. The income should fatten Disney profits from its U.S. theme parks, adventure and family movies (TRON, Tex) and other activities, which ran to some $200 million last year...

...married and Hawkeye will come close to a nervous breakdown. Beyond that, speculation turns to fancy. Will Radar or Frank or Trapper or even a resurrected Henry Blake return, in person or in flashback? Will everyone survive the armistice? Or will, as one waggish M*A*S*H watcher suggests, the 4077 be told that they have been literally in Korea for these eleven years, that it is now 1963 and time to re-up for Viet...
