...Could it be you? A blue sky blue, a blue eye blue, a bow, a ball, a blue jean blue?" Or perhaps he wants "slicker yellow, sunshine yellow, lemonade and daisy yellow." But no; despite the additional temptations of purple, brown, pink and orange, the boy hews to one hue: "A cherry, berry, very red." And who can blame him? Keiko Narahashi shows a rainbow of appealing items, but the best is obviously Santa Claus on a fire engine. What redder, better way to say Merry Christmas...
Picasso went through his Rose and Blue Periods, and now his works have taken on a greenish hue. At least that is how investors see them. Betting that fine art will appreciate more quickly than stocks and other investments that have been sluggish since the Black Monday crash, high rollers have sent auction prices for masterworks skyrocketing to unheard of levels. Earlier this month a 1923 Picasso painting titled Birdcage was auctioned for a record $15.4 million, only to be topped four days later by the sale of the 1901 Motherhood for $24.8 million.

They all look like if they had sex they wouldn't get excited. They look like they wouldn't call for help if they were drowning...
Boitano could be counted on to enrich the trophy trove, but as he went into the final program, the hue was anything but certain. In addition, as the men approached the long segment, which counts for 50% of the total score, Boitano held the narrowest of leads. His stronger showing in the painstaking figures (worth 30%) gave him the edge, despite Orser's higher marks in the short program (worth just 20%). But that segment, lasting no longer than 2 1/4 minutes, was a boost for both men. Orser delivered a jazzy Fred Astaire send- up that he later called...
