Saks Fifth Avenue has kindly consented to provide the beluga caviar (4 oz. for $88). Pepperidge Farm has prepared Father's favorite hot Bing Cherry Soup with Burgundy (in a selection of eight cans for $18.95). Hampton Farms has, especially for us, smoked a 9-lb. young torn turkey over hickory embers (only $29.95). English plum pudding ($12) is on its way from Altman's. The wines, all from good old Sherry-Lehmann 's catalogue, will go from Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut (about $20) with the caviar, to Chateau d'Yquern ($90) with...

What is your response to that?" Graham: "David, I was not taken in." The evidence seems to be that he was, but what is of interest is the way Graham was questioned-the technique of the unbuttressed accusation disguised as a question. In television interviewing, this dubious tactic is now acceptable shorthand...
