...bell, the patient, methodical Mrs. Lundberg plunges into her multiple chores. For 15 minutes she flashes reading cards to her three first-graders, has them read a story, George and the Cherry Tree. Some of the others stray from their individual assignments to follow the story. Next comes a second-grade language class for Keith Myren, 8, and Becky Koepsell, 7, interrupted by questions from the still-reading first-graders. Then second-graders read aloud, while Mrs. Lundberg checks desk-to-desk on the work of others. An eight-minute science lesson for the fourth and fifth grades centers...

Peanuts is translated into a dozen languages, from Danish (in which the title becomes Little Radishes) to Spanish to Japanese. Schulz's theology has even merited a solemn book, The Gospel According to Peanuts, in which Divinity...
...Mustafa made a fierce resolve: "I am going to be somebody." At twelve, against his mother's orders, he took entrance examinations for a government military school, passed them, and then hectored her till she signed his admission papers. He was a proud, cold, brilliant boy who could follow several conversations simultaneously and move either eye independent of the other. He dominated his contemporaries and challenged his teachers, who nicknamed him Kemal (Perfection) and accounted him a born officer...
