When we broke the story of the closing of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with a $400,000 loss, we thought Merrick the Mustache emerged as a man with a lot of heart, which he probably won't want to have mentioned, as it would be bad for him in the producing business. "Isn't that a record loss for you?" we asked Merrick. "Yes. Let's just say it's my Bay of Pigs," he said. Did they boo Mary Tyler Moore and Richard Chamberlain at one preview? "They didn't boo, but they talked back at the actors.

As one critic said, they were neither very true nor lifelike too much of the Disney cartoon touch was apparent, picture postcard photography, "cute" shots, booming orchestration and that horrible, unctuous, narrator. Chicago police Vanishing Prairie" because it showed the birth of buffalo. Fans who learned of life and love from the cartoons must have wondered why the omission of the stork. Disney's taste, his unabashed, rural humor, his cuteness to the point of nausea were unpalatable when much of his dynasty was being sustained by "family" films starring actors like Fred MacMurray, in some ways less human that the animated actors. People who remember Disney speak of his early films.

How many have mentioned "The Absent Minded Professor," "Emil and the Detectives" or "The Shaggy Dog" (the whole film was a shaggy dog story)? The truth is that audiences had become so brainwashed, they were immediately, convinced if the Disney hallmark was found on a film's credit. A number of films infinitely superior to Disney's best have been slighted because they were not released by his Buena Vista studio. Free" alone is worth a dozen lent "The Fifty Year Decline and 1 "Fall of Hollywood." A reflection on the Disney career would not be complete without including Goodman's remarks. "The Walt Disney studios may be Grimm, but (they are) also grim." He continues to explain that this 51-acre, multi-million-dollar plant in Burbanks has not been the most happy studio in film history. That many workers were apathetic and fearful of and bitter that he took credit for their work.

In fact, back in 1941, the Disney studio was the scene of one of the more bitter labor disputes in this century, certainly one of the most bitter in film history. More than half (over 500) of his employees went on strike because of "abominably low salaries, poor working conditions, a series of layoffs ney's adamant refusal to sit down and negotiate with his help." The strike lasted nine weeks and helped establish minimum wages in the low-paying, animated-cartoon field. It also helped change the Disney image.

It is this type of thinking that is associated with the term safety play. Declarer does not assume a normal break but an abnormal one, and he then attempts to cater not only to expected division but the unexpected as weli. He sees that if East has four clubs, regardless of their composition, the contract cannot be made.

He dismisses this case from further consideration because nothing can be done about it. He then assumes that West has four clubs. This occurs whenever East has the singleton Q. 9, 8, or 5. Where East has singleton or 5, again the contract is doomed.

The defenders have two sure club tricks and nothing can be done. What South finally does is concentrate on those 4-1 divisions he can control so that he loses only one club trick. These consist of the hands where East has the singleton 9 or 8. Accorcingly, South wins the spade lead with the ace and plays the ten of clubs. This turns out to be the winning in the actual hand.

When West covers with the jack, dummy takes the king and returns a low club to the seven. This, play finishes off West, regardless of what he does. He cannot defeat the contract..
