...sure that old Madalyn hadn't just pulled this winter solstice stuff out of her hat, I rushed down to the library to do more research. There I found more information on the origins of the Christmas celebration than I had ever dreamed existed. Books on the legend of Santa Claus. Discussions of the rise of the Christmas tree. I took copious notes...
...Cambridge has a downtown, it's probably the business district in Central Square. This seems to be the place, for example, where most residents do their Christmas shopping. It's also the only group of stores that features a roving Santa Claus throughout December, who speaks a different language each week. I tracked down one of these fellows a few days ago on Pearl St. with a small crowd and two elves milling around him.

Reid Hilton's new arm is only slightly less remarkable−and considerably less expensive. Hilton, 24, a Santa Ana, Calif., karate expert who lost his right arm below the elbow in an accident, will probably not risk smashing bricks with his experimental $40,000 replacement. But the prosthesis should enable him, with practice, to function like a man with two natural arms, and in some ways outperform...
