...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...
They keep trying. More than 4,000 people thronged to the school's parking lot on a chilly Thursday night for a long-planned concert, held to thank all the hospitals, churches, police and others who have helped Columbine recover. Despite the Internet threat, the mood was downright jolly. Principal Frank DeAngelis bunny-hopped with Snoopy. The crowd rocked when the band sang Noel to the tune of YMCA. Tim McLoone, president of Holiday Express, the concert's headline act, announced, "At 6:30 this morning they told me school was canceled. Do these people ever have a normal, dull...
...people don't ask for much--enough food, adequate shelter and a mildly entertaining Oscar-night show that gets us to bed before sunrise.

"Every night he'd go on the air with some guests at 9," Buckley said, "and he'd keep going--an hour, two hours, three--until he got bored...
Damon, who like Blanchett and Paltrow was cast in the film before achieving Oscar-night eminence, knows how to emit charm--of the aw-shucks variety in The Rainmaker or streetwise in Good Will Hunting. Here, though, he is a plodder. Pasty white among the bronze gods of Mongibello, striding stiffly, with nerdy glasses adorning his pinched face, Damon could more easily be mistaken for the creepy losers Hoffman usually plays (in Boogie Nights or Happiness) than for a patrician hunk like Dickie. The deglamorizing of Ripley pays off beautifully in his final meeting with Freddie, who sees through...
