BOYCOTTING DISNEY FOR GOD

by Conrad Goeringer

     Grumbling continues over the controversial movie
"Priest." Elizabeth Dole, wife of GOP presidential contender Sen.
Bob Dole, is now promising to unload over $15,000 in stock which
the couple holds in Walt Disney Co. "Priest" depicts sexual
misconduct by Roman Catholic clergy and was produced by Miramax,
a subsidiary which the Disney firm acquired in 1993. The senator
has called the film a symptom of Hollywood's "crisis of values."

     Meanwhile, the Knights of Columbus a Catholic mens group
which dresses in capes and feathered hats has sold nearly $3
million of its Disney Company stock. Describing the movie as "a
distorted, negative and fundamentally unfair picture of Catholic
priests," the Knights also have canceled a planned trip to Disney
World.

     We suspect these guys will really miss Fantasyland.
