...prose. Ted Geisel's centenary - the Seussentennial, his publishers call it - is being celebrated with a U.S. postage stamp in his honor, a cross-country caravan of books and playlets and (my favorite) Charles D.

In the movie, when Starsky gets behind the wheel of his beloved car, his uptight intensity lets loose, literally hurling his character—as well as Hutch—to wild extremes. “I did take driving classes and I got to do a couple of peel outs and skid stops,” Stiller states...
