[Michael Rhode]

The New York Times had a surprising Barks mention last week:

           Party at the Chemosphere: The Flying Saucer
              House Soars Again

              By FRANCES ANDERTON

The article is about the German publishers, Taschen's buying a Modern house 
in California:

When this reporter visited the Taschens at their quiet, secluded aerie, 
Angelika (pronounced on-GAY-leek-ah) Taschen, tall and sunny, chopped salad 
at the new kitchen countertop with the poise of a dancer (which she was) and 
the confidence of a doctor of art history (which she is). Her husband is 
even taller, but less poised and so reserved at first that he barely looks 
you in the eye.

But the reserve soon gives way to bawdy humor, shrewd observations, fond 
clucking to the deer that wander near his home and a river of recollections. 
He said he particularly regretted never having met Carl Barks, the creator 
of Donald Duck, whose "Donald Duck universe" shaped his view of Los Angeles 
when he first visited around 1980. "I always wanted to meet with him and 
once wrote him a letter telling him how much I admired what he did and that 
he was a great source of inspiration in my life," Mr. Taschen said. "The 
same with Lautner."
