...away from." Snoopy, the dog with the floppy ears and foolish smile, is the perfect hedonist. He dances, skates, jumps rope, hunches like a vulture but above all likes to lie flat on his back on the top of his doghouse awaiting supper -which sometimes includes a dish of sherbet on the side. Snoopy is no great shakes at chasing rabbits ("I don't even know what a rabbit smells like"), but he never fails to sniff out ice cream cones and candy. "Snoopy is not a real dog," says Schulz. "He is an image of what people would...

...Sherbet-Soft Colors. The problem is that Louis and Noland are pioneer explorers who need vast spaces to give their quest a sense of achievement. Even the best tapestry would be ridiculous as a doily, and their Cinemascopic canvases only achieve their effect when they engulf the viewer's vision. Their works often run from baseboard to ceiling and as wide as 18 ft.

...proper girls' school in the south of England. They carried on like so many Peck's bad boys in bloomers, planted a gelignite bomb in a bicycle shed, conned free rides in horse-drawn victorias, raced down High Street frothing at the mouth with lemon sherbet powder to convince townspeople that they were possessed by devils. But their biggest adventure in that ill-fated summer of 1914 came the night they buried a coffer of "valuable treasure"-dog chains, bones, a message in an unknown language (jumboed up by Mumbo)-in the orchard behind the school. As snippety...
