Since I don't have access to my files on Seuss where I'm at right now, I would have to research the idea of Rosetta Stone being a takeoff on Audrey, his second wife's name.
  I don't remember when his wife committed suicide over the torrid affair between him and Audrey, although I know he knew her for quite a while. She was a 'family friend!'
  There are some excellent adult bios of Geisel which might also lead to the Stone clue.
  Now you have my curiosities going full steam.
  The one thing I remember well is Geisel's attitude toward children. "You have'em," he said. I'll amuse 'em." He was very uncomfortable even being around children.
