...puppet show. Unfortunately, though Michaelis does not wear the tread on the charm of the comic series, he fails to do the same for Schulz. By the end, Schulz has made the short transition from shy, self-deprecating child to a humble but lonely man. Almost as an echo of a sentiment expressed by Charlie Brown—“I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to”—Schulz inadvertently becomes more two-dimensional than his round-headed creation by the end of the biography. Michaelis traces...
...flashy gold chain and baggy jeans, he proves that he’s as versatile as anyone else in the couture game. Kelly’s bold, bordering-on-tacky accessorizing is equally impressive. Flamboyant diamond studs, several massive pairs of sunglasses, and an enormous cigar nicely echo Kelly’s larger-than-life, tabloid-centric lifestyle.

Emboldened by a propaganda victory when the British left Basra, Shi'ite militants have since turned their sights on the Poles and the patchwork of other international forces stationed in and around Diwaniyah.

His warnings echo truth, as nine Iraqis have died working for the U.S. Embassy in the last three years...
...Given the embarrassing contortions being performed by the three leading candidates, John McCain almost seems comfortable in his apostasy. His attempt to run bland in 2008, an echo of the 2000 edition of George W. Bush, cratered ignominiously. It was, in part, attributable to McCain's executive ineptitude; when it came to spending, his consultants were as prudent as the pork-peddling legislators he likes to deride. But there was a substantive reason for his failure: his support for a comprehensive immigration bill - the one he co-sponsored with Ted Kennedy - that would provide a path to citizenship...
