John F.,

No interview ... but, did you see that File Photo? I didn't know that there was a Barbie Collection for adults.

Always a mistake to buy a company where you do not trust the management. My MAT experience will forever be etched in my mind. Still, I do not want to exacerbate my mistake by selling a business that you or I (not to put your management skills on the same sorry level as mine!) could easily run more adroitly.

Seems the handwriting is on the wall. It is just a matter of time.

I would love to get Mark H. Willes (new board member at MAT, Times Mirror CEO ... look what he has done for shareholders in that company during his tenure from 6/1/95 quote.yahoo.com ... experience at General Mills -- parent of Fisher-Price a few years back).
