...wooden wall panels are carved with the names of famous and familiar alumni—Lowell, Emerson, Longfellow, Adams… There is a towering grandfather clock in one corner, a statue of Kronos in another. Most noticeable is the furniture, which has always reminded me of Dr. Seuss illustrations with its curvy playfulness. The exceedingly comfortable chairs and couches vary in color and shape, but most are rounded and velvety, oddly proportioned and/or large enough to make one wonderfully aware that they were built for enjoyment more than utility.

...RYAN EVANS, 20, 3-ft. 2-in. actor who played Timmy, a doll that miraculously came to life, on the NBC soap opera Passions; during heart surgery; in San Diego. Born with a rare disease that stunted his heart, Evans also had roles on Ally McBeal and in Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas...

By war's end, Jones was infusing the brisk sauciness of these cartoons into his civilian work...
...Jones, a tall, genial charmer who sported the goatee and floppy bow tie of a small-town art teacher, had plenty of career left. He reunited with Geisel and directed two Dr. Seuss half-hours, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and Horton Hears a Who! He wrote two delightful memoirs, Chuck Amuck and Chuck Reducks. And for a 1985 Museum of Modern Art tribute to Warner Bros. animation, he drew new Bugses and Daffys on the Manhattan museum's walls--a tacit acknowledgment from the world of high culture that this cartoon man was a significant creator of modern...
