☆ Disney, Facing Activist Investor Pressure, Adds 2 Board Members
  + stars: | 2023-11-29 | by ( Brooks Barnes | More About Brooks Barnes | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Mr. Perlmutter, who sold Marvel Entertainment to Disney in 2009, was pushed out of the company in March. Representatives for Mr. Peltz and Mr. Perlmutter did not respond to queries. “We have to obviously contend with them in some form,” Robert A. Iger, Disney’s chief executive, said about activist investors earlier on Wednesday at the DealBook Summit. I’m not going to get distracted by any of that.”Last year, Mr. Perlmutter agitated — from his perch inside Disney — for Mr. Peltz to join the board. Two chaotic years later, Disney fired Mr. Chapek and reinstated Mr. Iger as chief executive.

☆ Robert Moses Put Monkeys in a Park in Harlem. They’re Finally Gone.

At first glance, the metal trellis adorning a public bathroom in a playground in Riverside Park may have appeared innocuous. And the park, known as the Ten Mile River Playground, was located in Harlem, a predominantly Black neighborhood — a fact that seemed to many to be beyond coincidence. Shiloh Frederick, a content creator who focuses on New York City history, first learned of the monkeys while reading “The Power Broker,” Robert A. Caro’s seminal 1974 biography of Robert Moses, the parks commissioner who transformed the city through public works projects. Mr. Moses oversaw an expansion of Riverside Park in the 1930s. Mr. Caro wrote that Mr. Moses was known for adding details that made his projects “fit in with their setting,” generally with an eye to making people feel “at home.”

☆ What Michael Cohen said about his testimony and why it matters in the Trump fraud trial

New York CNN —An apparent backtrack by Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen threw the New York civil fraud trial into more chaos Wednesday afternoon. But after lunch, Cliff Robert, another Trump attorney, pressed Cohen further on his congressional testimony, and Cohen had a different response, saying that the testimony was not false. “The witness just admitted that we won the trial,” Trump told reporters in the hallway. “And the judge should end this trial immediately.”The New York attorney general’s lawyers asked Cohen in follow up questions to clarify his response. New York Attorney General Letitia James downplayed Cohen’s significance to her case against Trump in comments to reporters at the conclusion of Cohen’s two-day testimony.

☆ Disney’s Chief Financial Officer Is Stepping Down
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Brooks Barnes | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Christine M. McCarthy, who in her eight years as Disney’s chief financial officer helped stabilize the company during the pandemic, when most of Disney was shut down, and played a key role in the ouster of Bob Chapek as chief executive last year, will step down on July 1, she said on Thursday. Ms. McCarthy, who has twice battled cancer during her Disney career, has a contract that runs until next June. He has served as chief financial officer for Walt Disney Parks, Experiences and Products since 2017. “He has my complete confidence,” Robert A. Iger, Disney’s chief executive, said in a statement. Mr. Iger called Ms. McCarthy “one of the most admired financial executives in America” and said her impact on Disney could “not be overstated.”

☆ Disney Pulls Plug on $1 Billion Development in Florida
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Brooks Barnes | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Ron DeSantis of Florida “anti-business” for his scorched-earth attempt to tighten oversight of the company’s theme park resort near Orlando. Last month, when Disney sued the governor and his allies for what it called “a targeted campaign of government retaliation,” the company made clear that $17 billion in planned investment in Walt Disney World was on the line. “Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people, and pay more taxes, or not?” Robert A. Iger, Disney’s chief executive, said on an earnings-related conference call with analysts last week. On Thursday, Mr. Iger and Josh D’Amaro, Disney’s theme park and consumer products chairman, showed that they were not bluffing, pulling the plug on a nearly $1 billion office complex that was scheduled for construction in Orlando. It would have brought more than 2,000 jobs to the region, with $120,000 as the average salary, according to an estimate from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
