Massachusetts-born Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, would be one hundred this year if he were still alive. We'll look at the legacy of the author and artist and see what impact he had on American culture and literature. Mike Arnold hosts. His guest is Philip Nel, Assistant Professor of English at Kansas State University and author of "Dr. Seuss: American Icon". We'll also hear from Richard Minear, Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, one of the country's leading historians on Japan during WWII and author of "Dr. Seuss goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel."
