In fact, despite being on the BGEA board, Lotz has only once had a major part in a Crusade. "I would like to see her have a larger role," says Franklin, "and the time will come when we can do that, but at his age, my father...

If AOL Time Warner's success in cable television extends to Internet provision capabilities, their critics fear that interactive technology, which would enable viewers to participate in game shows and purchase items seen on various programs, could be withheld from people who choose to watch, say, NBC instead of Time Warner networks like CNN and WB. So Disney, with an eye on the future, is said to want assurances from Time Warner that no such favoritism is on the horizon. Time Warner, according to the New York Times, deems such a demand unacceptable, especially because it is unclear what...
