Serving Il Disney Duce’s Head on a Silver Platter - LA Weekly, 9/10/04 (http://www.laweekly.com/ink/04/42/deadline-finke.php)
Today’s so-called "big" and "stunning" and "end of an era" news that Michael Eisner is going to leave Disney when his contract is up in September 2006 isn’t very newsy. Ah, c’mon: Given the thrashing he’s received in the past year by Average Joe stockholders and institutional investors, not to mention Roy and Stanley, did anybody in their right mind really think he was going to be allowed to stay past his expiration date?
