One final sound thought.
Also as a present I got, "Dr. Seuss Goes to War; The World War II
Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel." Dr. Seuss was the son
of a brewer, who was prosperous until prohibition. Dr. Seuss had a
contretemps with Dartmouth College authorities over bootleg liquor.
Dr. Seuss spoke German at home. Thus when he picked his middle name
as a nom de plume, he was enjoying a 1920's liquid fun pun. In
German "Seuss" rhymes with Royce, not Zeus.
