DAY EIGHT

LOWLIGHT: Kids and animals

W.C. Fields once vowed never to work with children or animals. Maybe the writers should follow that advice as well. On Veterans Day, Lulu, a collie related to the original Lassie, joined the children of striking writers outside the gates of Disney Studios. Though the dog probably appreciated the exercise, the kids will now forever wonder if the dwarves in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" were unionized or not.
