...call Geisel greedy or a pawn of corporate interests would be a mistake. Much of her income is earmarked for philanthropy, and she's driven the same gray Cadillac, with a GRINCH license plate, since 1985. And truth be told, Dr. Seuss himself wasn't averse to seeing his art in other forms. He issued some licenses when he was living. In the early 1980s, he expressed interest in seeing his work turned into video games, and at the time of his death he was writing the screen adaptation of "Oh, the Places...
...left - which might seem to make me part of the "liberal media" (is there any other kind?) against which the Radio Right froths and fulminates. Except that to me, Tom Brokaw and Judy Woodruff are not liberal; whatever their private beliefs, on camera they are part of the genteel, gray center, straining for the appearance of impartiality.

The number of CEO departures went from just 46 last September to 103 this September, according to a study by the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The number this fall is expected to be double the October 1999 figure...
...GRAY MATTER Serious head injuries are just that--serious. After poring over hospital records of World War II veterans, doctors now say that a bad blow to the head may be linked to Alzheimer's. The soldiers' injuries were probably more extreme than those suffered by civilians falling off scooters or playing football (the veterans were unconscious at least 24 hours), but the news is a reminder to watch your head--and wear a helmet...
