"Construction itself created innumerable problems.  For example, when Disney engineers place an order for 2,175 pieces of steel, each of a different length and weight, the steel company's salesman was aghast.  But, gradually, piece by piece, challenge by challenge, the mountain emerged, a perfect scale replica with the proper amount of snow in just the right places."

"Before a new employee ever meets the public as Walt's representative, he has 'graduated' from the University of Disneyland . . .
