...dumped at the altar. Happiness may be a warm puppy, but as Schulz once said, "Happiness is not very funny." Schulz infused the strips with his lifelong feelings of depression and insecurity--he had his heart broken by a real-life red-haired girl--and they showed, Camus-like, how one could feel lonely even in a crowd. Many of his panels have two characters outside, at night, staring at a field of stars. "Let's go inside and watch television," Charlie Brown says in one. "I'm beginning to feel insignificant...
...disorder be treated? Though certain medications, like Depakote, curb individual symptoms like aggression and impulsiveness, there have been no drug trials specifically for ASP. Fonagy claims intensive psychotherapy and parent training can help. But researchers say that signs of ASP often show up by age four or five, and that if the behavior is not caught and dealt with before adolescence, there's little hope of making significant change.

"Network TV will never again look like it did this fall," Mfume told TIME in an interview. "We're winning on this issue in a way most people thought impossible...
...establish a recruitment program for minority managers and writers; to "make every effort to increase its promotional spending for minority shows"; and to appoint at least one new African American to its board of directors by Sept. 1, 2000. Some of the goals are vague and difficult to enforce, like a provision that the networks "cease any practice of ghettoizing 'black shows' whereby they are scheduled together on nights without white programming." That flies in the face of longtime programming principles of "audience flow"--scheduling shows that appeal to similar audiences together. Nor can the agreement force the networks...
