...need to rationalize information technology, patent ownerships--and Tom Stallkamp thought he'd worked through them all. As president of Chrysler, he had helped orchestrate the American company's merger with Germany's Daimler-Benz.

Disney will debut its new Tarzan action game for the PC, PlayStation and Nintendo 64.
