Sugarplums, humbug! After covering the pre-Christmas offerings at some of the world's finest auction houses for this week's cover story on the "collectibles" craze, several TIME collectors had visions of something more elaborate dancing in their heads. Their Christmas lists follow...
...variances in costs that are supposed to reflect the relative values of crudes according to their sulfur content and distances from major markets. Algeria, Iran, Libya, Ecuador, Gabon and others rejected a proposal to reduce the differentials, which help them to charge the highest prices. Iraq voted to follow that majority.

When her heroine, Salley Gardens (nee Potter), gets married, one of the wedding guests is J.C. Salley's father, a Columbia University professor, commits an unacknowledged theft from a Cheever short story when commenting on his older brother...
