Does Disney Need ESPN? For That Matter, Does ESPN Need Disney?
Let’s face it, Mickey Mouse isn’t exactly a poster child for athletic ability. He’s not tall, wears shoes far too big for him and doesn’t exactly appear ripped. Frankly, Goofy’s more of an athlete, though he is more the lanky type than imposing. So the connection of a generation that has seen ESPN and Disney
Happy Birthday? Screw Me?
As my former research lab buddy Norman Lear wrote earlier this summer when he celebrated his 100th birthday, “Well, I made it”. I’m nowhere near Mr. Lear’s age today, but I’m closer than I was 24 hours ago. Just to reassure you, I share the sentiment of the second line of his op-ed: “I wake

After all, they would attest, didn’t we all develop such a
Today NBC-And Hollywood-Woke Up
I am NOT a racist. In fact, I’ve experienced prejudice, persecution and bigotry many times over, personally and, especially now, professionally. I’m short, still technically obese, Jewish and financially challenged. And once people with larger egos and muscles discovered I was far more intelligent than they could ever dream of being, I became their literal

In an era where working your way through a large company was still the only way someone with my meager background could better himself,
