...them for their livelihoods. He quaintly called his philosophy the ?toto picture.? In these ecologically minded times that thought may seem prosaic, but it was a message few considered in Doc?s day, no more dramatically demonstrated than by the sudden collapse of Monterey?s sardine fishery in the 1940s. Doc had warned against over fishing, but no one listened. And suddenly Monterey?s great silver harvest was gone...

UpStairs on the Square’s website describes the new décor as “a throwback to 1940s glamour with a modern twist.” And, boy, what a twist.

What other product created in the 1940s still sells well, almost completely unaltered? Goodnight Moon, Pat the Bunny and The Poky Little Puppy, sexagenarians nearly all; each still moves more than 150,000 hardbacks just about every year. And let's not even start on Dr. Seuss or P.D. Eastman. (Well, we can start: Green Eggs and Ham sold more than 500,000 copies...
