Ask the ghost of Christmas past
Where Rosebud is today.
Burning in the fire

Jay Topkis, reply by Gore Vidal AUGUST 17, 1989 ISSUE
In response to:

Remembering Orson Welles from the June 1, 1989 issue

To the Editors:

In his essay on Orson Welles [NYR, June 1], Gore Vidal asserts that &#8220;Rosebud was what Hearst called his friend Marion Davies&#8217;s clitoris.&#8221;
