Go Read It

Jeannie Schulz — widow of that guy who drew Charlie Brown, plus she's also a very bright, lovely lady — has some comments on the David Michaelis book on her late hubby. I recently got a copy (free) which I'm working my way through and so far, it seems to be everything Schulz's associates have been telling me it is: A lot of good, well-researched revelations about the man interspersed with so many odd deductions about his character and personality and too many questionable factual assertions as to despoil the good parts. I think, when an author who never met you says you never hugged people, and all your friends and family are saying you did, the author is on wafer-thin ice.
