...thousands of years, repair surgery was limited to such obvious and available materials as wood, bone and ivory-which the body is usually quick to reject. Then doctors turned to refined metals. But the current mush rooming of alloplasty had to await the proliferation of synthetic plastics. Most of the materials now favored are the polymers (basically familiar molecules in unfamiliar, complex arrangements), such as nylon, Dacron and Plexiglas.

Stuck with an inebriated Santa, Macy's unwittingly hires the real Kris Kringle to handle the reins as Donder, Blitzen, et al., mush through the big Thanksgiving Day parade. Kris (Laurence Naismith) stays on for the holiday rush and he is a loving wonder at dandling the kids on his knee. There are minor complications, of course, like St. Nick's spending a day or two in the mental ward at Bellevue until his credentials...
