...ashes of Dr. Seuss have settled in a small wooden box in La Jolla, Calif. Audrey Geisel - who is sometimes referred to simply as "the widow" - has placed them there, neatly and lovingly, on a heavy wooden hutch in the sunny foyer of the home they shared high on a hill by the ocean. They were married in 1968, long after the rest of the world had fallen in love with him, and still she keeps him close, just steps from the study where a hat-wearing cat and a Christmas-stealing Grinch and a Who-hearing Horton once scampered...
...Theodor Seuss Geisel, who was best known as Dr. Seuss and sold up to 400 million books, would approve of his final resting place, for there was a bit of the Grinch in him.

And Kramer had a knack for finding sharp writers (Carl Foreman, John Paxton, Ted ["Dr. Seuss"] Geisel) and fresh actors; Marlon Brando (The Men) and Grace Kelly (High Noon) made their first strong movie impressions in his films...
...about IBM Chief Executive Officer Lewis Gerstner? Nationally acclaimed prize-winning author Louise Erdrich? How about former Sen. Paul E. Tsongas (D-Mass.) or Secretary of Labor and former Kennedy School Professor Robert S. Reich? Maybe U.S. News and World Report Economics Editor Susan Dentzer or Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) are 'drunken laggards.' If not, then surely John Guare, playwright and author of "Six Degrees of Separation" or Tonyaward winning Broadway director Jerry Zaks are looses...
