Five-eighths, to be exact: As Disneyland celebrates its 60th anniversary, consider some trivia: The trains that circle the park are built to five-eighths scale, and forced perspective make the buildings on Main Street appear taller than their actual height (Page B4).
Some other facts: U.S. airlines copied Disneyland’s design for the trains, building the seats to five-eighths scale, too. Forced feeding of corn dogs makes visitors appear wider when standing next to Goofy.
Trump is in his own tier: To accommodate the large field of Republican presidential candidates, only those ranking among the top 10 will qualify for the main debate Aug. 6 on Fox News Channel, leaving out several others (Page A5).
Second-tier candidates will be invited to join the cast of Donald Trump’s new series, “Political Apprentice.”
There’s a franchise fee for that, Ted: Senior Senate Republicans rebuked fellow Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, following his floor speech Friday in which he accused Senate Leader Mitch McConnell of lying (Page A5).
Just who does Sen. Cruz, R-Second-Tier, think he is, attacking fellow Republicans? Donald Trump?
