Obama’s Magic Touch – Passé?
Frank Rich in the New York Times makes an interesting point: After a good couple of years of living with the guy, we know the drill that defines his leadership, for better and worse. When trouble lurks, No Drama Obama stays calm as everyone around him goes ballistic. Then he waits — and waits — for that superdramatic moment when he can ride to his … Continue reading Obama’s Magic Touch – Passé?

Disney Buys Marvel – A Good Thing?
As the whole world will now know, Disney has bought Marvel Entertainment Inc for $4 billion. My first thought was alarm – Marvel has spent the last 10 years moving forward away from a corporate owner who had rabidly emasculated it.
