...therapists have a study to cheer about: a six-year, $10 million effort concluding that talk therapy can be just as good as drug therapy in treating depression. Exultant scientists at the National Institute of Mental Health, which funded the project, hail it as a "landmark," and Psychiatrist Jerome Frank calls it the "standard against which all other psychotherapy research will be assessed."

Blanket-armed Linus (Ron Duvernay), Lucy's brother, is an intellectual version of the picked-on innocent. And Schroeder (Biggs) and his piano, are sweetly in line with the musical prodigy Schultz penned. The only unrecognizable old-timer is Peppermint Patty (Jennifer Joss).
