Maybe the iconic images? Although I'm of the opinion they came from the films but they *were* described in the books.
And I salute your raised (hand). Exactly my sentiments towards extending copyright periods. (I do support copyrights, just so you know-I just don't support infinite copyrights. I'm open to discussion of what the period should be, but anything longer than 50 years just doesn't seem reasonable to me.)
