In this column I learned from his wise comments about the team approach to get the lips working on King Kong. Marvelous! I read John Hench's book last week. It was rather pedestrian read, not because John is not interesting, but because it was so massaged by the public relations hacks. I loved the story about the car visible from Frontierland that set Walt off. John's book suggests that it was a "photographers" car. Doh! It WAS Hench's car!
